If You Don’t Knit, Bring Socks

We need socks. Our guests need socks. 3,000 new socks, warm socks, preferably men’s crew and trail socks because women can wear them, too. Colored socks with patterns and pictures are nice, but they don’t go with everything and the main thing is to keep our guests warm and dry this winter.  3,000 guests.

We are giving out 2500 gift bags in the Dining Room this Christmas, each containing a beautiful, hand made scarf and whatever else we can collect that is useful or fun for our guests. Socks are a staple for these bags. The other 500 pairs will serve our guests in other programs. All of our guests need them. All of our programs give them.

If you knit, bring or send a scarf. If you don’t knit, buy us a package of new socks. Buy two. Buy a case at a well known wholesale outlet.

Bring them to 150 Golden Gate and tell Eric they’re for Christmas bags. Bring them to 121 Golden Gate when Curbside opens this weekend; they’ll all go to gift bags.

If large food items aren’t on the way, if you don’t have a car for carrying bulk items or clothes, take a moment while shopping for Christmas and throw some extra socks into your basket. Drop them off on your way to work.

Tell your friends. Tell your family. Share this post on Facebook. 3,000 warm new socks by December 24. Thank you.
