Did you know?

That one of the number one needed items in homeless shelters are socks? That right a clean dry pair of socks something most of us take for granted is something that the homeless shelters need the most. The reason is most people think to donate coats and canned goods but most never think of something as simple as socks.

There are several things you can do to help! If you have homeless shelters where you live, take them some socks. If you don't have shelters near you, you can contact a church to see if they do work with any shelters or you can contact organizations such as the United Way.

There is a third option I found online today! Hanes is working with the United Way to help. If your on Facebook you can go to this link Send Socks and send some of your friends virtual socks and for every pair you send Hanes will donate a real pair to someone in need!

I know it's the Holidays and everyone is so busy, but also remember this is a time for giving! Lets not forget the true meaning of the holidays when we get sucked into buy mode by the retailers!
