How many pairs of socks do you think are needed this winter in south county? This week we are highlighting our Wool Socks Drive! Wool Socks Drive
Wool Socks for the homeless to be distributed by the 5Cities Homeless Coalition. Nancy Terrell is leading this project. She is collecting warm wool socks for the homeless. Wool socks are the best because they wick away the moisture from the feet and keep them dryer and warmer. The cotton or athletic socks retain the moisture. She is also collecting warm hats, gloves and scarves. Socks can be dropped off from November 1 to December 15th at the Avila Bay Athletic Club & Spa, 6699 Bay Laurel Pl, Avila Beach, CA 93424.
They can also be dropped off at Susan McCutcheon’s house at 2342 Willett Way (Cypress Ridge), Arroyo Grande.
The 5 Cities Homeless Coalition says they can use at least 500 pairs of wool socks this winter!
