ANNUAL SOCK DRIVE - Is Different in 2024

Save the Date December 7th 9AM - Noon


Everything But Socks Drive


Our recent survey showed an alarming number of people living in the riverbed - more than 400 people were found in the area we survey. Sadly, most won't accept housing and other services from public agencies when initially offered.

 

Care packages can be a way to build a relationship and provide much needed items such as socks and toiletries. Socks are the number one item requested. But thanks to many generous gifts, we have plenty of socks to give but we need help with the other items.

 

Over time, trust can build and people will begin to accept housing and other offered services. We create 200 care packages at a time.


ITEMS NEEDED:

  • Toothpaste - travel size or larger
  • Toothbrushes - individually wrapped or small packs
  • Rain Ponchos - individually wrapped
  • Hand Santizer Wipes - individual or travel packs
  • Individually Wrapped Bars - soft energy bars rather than crunchy granola bars

 

Donations can be dropped off at our office M - F 9 - 2PM or give us a call for other arrangements at 619-297-7380.

If you prefer, make a donation, and we will buy items that are needed for the care packages.
