Operation Sock Drop
Each morning we put on a clean pair of socks or underwear with hardly athought. But for our community’s homeless men and women these itemsare often a luxury.
By organizing a new sock (or underwear) drive at your office, schoolor place of worship, you not only provide someone with criticallyneeded items, but you also hand them back some dignity – a crucialattribute to a successful move beyond homelessness.

Warm Hands Warm Hearts Winter Apparel Drive
The winter months are the most difficult time of year for the homeless. Many of them are at risk to the elements. You can help keep people safe and warm this winter by joining our Warm Hands Warm Hearts Campaign
To participate, all you need do is donate at least one brand-new winter hat, scarf, pair of gloves or mittens, warm socks or underwear. This is an easy and inexpensive way to make a lasting impact for the homeless women and men in our community
The drive can be conducted right at your place of business, gathering or worship. We can provide you with flyers to notify co-workers, classmates or colleagues. All you need to do is provide a place for participants to drop off their donations (most people just set up a box in a common area).
By participating in Warm Hands Warm Hearts you will not only help keep our community's neediest, most vulnerable citizens warm and safe this winter, but you will also help maintain their dignity and comfort during this most difficult time of year.
