Socks are the most critical part of a homeless person’s wardrobe. A person living on the street may walk miles every day. If his shoes are cracked or ill-suited for the weather, his socks get wet and dirty – leaving his feet in danger of frost bite, sores and jungle rot. Laundry is a luxury. Generally, socks worn for several days or a week get tossed. The Mission has trouble keeping them in stock. For about the price of a latte, you can give a homeless person the gift of a clean, dry pair of socks. Just drop them off at the Mission, 1224 E Trent Ave, and we’ll make sure they find their way to a pair of weary, grateful feet.
