Little Lambs Helping Hands presents Sock-tober
A National Sole Warming Movement
October 1st - 18th
Each night in the United States, an estimated 600,000 people live on the streets. This October, we want to show that even one small act of love, such as donating a new pair of socks, can make a big difference. New socks are the most desired and least donated item in homeless shelters.
Our goal is to collect 500 new pairs of socks of all sizes--babies, toddlers, kids, and adults!
Drop off your donations at Little Lambs MDO in the church office.
