This October, the kids of St. Patrick’s Catholic School in Bryan once again hit it out of the park by collecting 209 pairs of brand new socks for donation to our local shelter. Pictured above are some of our great sock collectors. From left to right; Phillip Calabrese, Joe Calabrese, and Tucker Miller. Great job, kids!
My son, Tucker, and the great people of St. Patrick’s Catholic School in Bryan, OH absolutely CRUSHED their Socktober collection goal! They collected 280 pairs of new socks against their goal of 100 pairs. The new socks will be donated to the Lewis Family McDonald’s Thanksgiving Day Dinner in Lima, OH. At this event, nearly 3,000 guests will be served a hot, traditional Thanksgiving meal, and they will be given the opportunity to “shop” donated goods. Thank you to everyone who donated socks this October! I’m so excited about it, I’m starting to think maybe we should initiate “Glove- ember” this month. Who’s in?
Every night in the United States an estimated 600,000 people sleep on the streets. During the month of October, you can help warm the soles (and souls) of those in need by participating in Socktober, an easy and fun movement to collect new socks. Made famous by Kid President creator, Brad Montague, Socktober exists to prove that even the smallest acts of love, like donating a pair of socks can make a big difference in the loves of our neighbors who are homeless.
