One time while we were delivering food out in the woods, we had a bunch of socks to give away. We asked if they wanted a package of socks, and the reply was something like this - "These are more valuable than gold! Yes, I will take all that you can spare." Another said they would trade the food we were offering for socks.
The big issue is the lack of laundry facilities. When they get too wet or dirty, they have to be thrown away. The need is great. If you purchase socks, get white tube socks like these. Get a lot of them please.
If you feel lead to help in this way, just bring them to church the next time you are here. You can plase them with all the other Homeless Ministry donations in the foyer.
