Sock Monkeys in Health Care

Sock Monkeys truly are love. The University of Iowa Hospital gives its pediatric patients free Sock Monkeys. Volunteers make the Sock Monkeys for gifts to the hospitalized children. A mere fee of $20.00 affords a member of the public the gift of an adorable handmade Sock Monkey. The proceeds are used towards the expense of making new Sock Monkeys for the sick children.

Sock Monkeys bring joy to the world!

Be a Sock Monkey Hero!

Sock Monkey made a new friend this week from the Vermont Bear Factory. Not only does he have a new playmate, but a child in need will have a warm and fuzzy bear to hold, according to the website, in an emergency situation arising from a house fire, car crash or other like disaster.

The Vermont Bear Factory sponsors the "Big Hero Little Hero" campaign that is a win-win situation. When you buy a cute and adorable bear, the Vermont Bear Factory donates two bears to a fire, police or rescue agency to comfort a child during a traumatic event.

Sock Monkey loves his new bear friend. A child is happy.

How's that for a warm and fuzzy?
