Sock Monkeys Carry Encouragement to Troops

Week of April 30, 2007

Sock Monkey Ministries reaches out to children, adults, and our Troops, who are in need of encouragement through a tangible gift of a handmade sock monkey that will bring comfort in a difficult time in their lives. Nearly 4,800 sock monkeys have been created since 2005. About 1,000 sock monkeys are preparing to deploy to the Middle East with the mission of reminding servicemembers that the American public still supports them. Each monkey, created from socks that are stuffed and hand sewn by one of more than 1,500 volunteers, also carries with it the thoughts and prayers of its creator in the form a small foam heart.
