Sock donations needed!

Dear friends of Project Homeless Connect,

Our regular donors of socks are unable to provide us with socks for our February 15th event. That means we need to get at least 1,000 donated in less than a month.

Socks are one of the most requested items. If you've ever had to wear the same pair of socks for three days or more, you know that after the third day socks get hard and smelly. Sometime after that any dye inside the socks can begin to leach into your skin and cause severe health problems to your legs.

Homeless people who have to leave their shoes on whie they sleep, to prevent their shoes from being stolen, have additional problems with their feet if they don't have clean socks on a regular basis.

While its not fun to think about, I'm explaining this to you so you'll understand how important a donation of clean white socks (preferably in men's sizes and the athletic kind with grey toes and heals) can be.

All that said, I'm hoping that you'll help. You can either buy a bunch of socks and deliver or mail them to our office: Project Homeless Connect, c/o Megan Rohrer, 25 Van Ness, Suite 340, San Francisco, Ca, 94102

Or, you can send an online donation and let us know in the memo line that you'd like to support socks at the event.

Thanks in advance for your help!
