Purchase Socks For the Homeless!

Save to Favorites

Warm Feet, Warm Hearts, Give SOCKS! - Warming the hearts of the homeless 2 feet at a time! Socks are the single most-needed article of clothing among the homeless community and remain the least-donated items! Especially during winter months, keeping your feet warm with a good pair of socks can go a long way in preventing hypothermia for those living on the streets. According to the results of the annual Point-in-Time Count - a regional census of the homeless population conducted every year on a single night in January - there were 6,904 homeless people in D.C and 1,059 in Fairfax County. (A total of just under 8,000). Let's do our part to ensure that ALL the homeless people in our community have a pair of good socks to wear! Our goal is to raise a total of 10,000 pairs of socks for the homeless!

------- We will be receiving financial donations to support this initiative. As a result, I will need help when I purchase the socks in large quantities at Wal-Mart and/or Costco. Want to lend a hand as we fill carts full of socks and get funny looks from fellow shoppers? (LOL) Register NOW! Thanks! ------- I am 100% confident that if we all individually do our part, we won't have any trouble meeting this goal. Please feel free to take a look at different opportunities to support this initiative below. Registration for all of these events can be done via: www.barberafoundation.org/upcomingevents
