Did you know that socks are the #1 most requested item by homeless shelters? Unfortunately, they are also one of the least donated items. So we made it our mission to provide joy to the homeless with new socks every year.
This is what it’s all about
… getting the new socks where they are needed. And this is done a number of ways.
You can drop your UNUSED socks off in “S4S” bin in the lobby area at any of our campuses on Sundays.
Make a donation and new socks are purchased to be handed out by volunteers directly to the homeless at places like homeless shelters.
go and do likewise
“A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him. The next day he took out two denarii[c] and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Look after him,’ he said, ‘and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.’
“Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?”
The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.”
Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.”
Luke 10:30-37
