The Cozy Collection

Our daughter Maya launched a family service project called the Cozy Collection in 2015. The Cozy Collection collected socks and blankets for folks experiencing homelessness in the San Gabriel Valley. Her work collected more than 25,000 pairs of socks and was ultimately featured in media and recognized by local civic leadership.
