This is something our local VFW Club does for the V A Hospital We have a
Holiday Party the first weekend of December and invite and bus patients
from the V A Hospital to the club for a dinner. The Women's Auxiliary hands
out socks, hats and gloves to the folks.
Maybe this is a good idea to spread around in each of our home towns.

Socks for Sandy
Posted: 03 Nov 2012 10:05 PM PDT
You know that feeling you get when your feet are cold and you slip on a
pair of warm socks? Or when you can warm your hands and head while outside by
wearing gloves and a hat? That feeling of warmth, of comfort, is something
we take for granted. For the victims of Hurricane Sandy, it is a feeling
we want to give back to them.
Laura Kuhlmann, a blogger and member of Hometalk who lives in Little Egg
Harbor, New Jersey, was fortunate that her neighborhood was spared with only
minor damages. But just a few minutes down the road, entire areas were
wiped out including Mystic Island, Osborne Island, and Tuckerton Beach. Long
Beach Island, just across the bay, also suffered extraordinary damage just
as every barrier island and shore town up and down New Jersey's
once-beautiful coastline has.
Laura couldn't stop thinking about something her sister-in-law
(volunteering at the local hurricane shelter) told her: that people were walking
around barefoot and just wanted a pair of socks. Even as donations started to
pour in to the shelter, Laura couldn't get the idea of warm socks out of her
head. She wanted to collect some warmth on a large scale for the victims of
Sandy, and shared her idea with me and our fellow blogging friends on
Hometalk. Our network of Hometalk bloggers includes several members living in
New Jersey who were affected by Hurricane Sandy. We embraced the idea
enthusiastically with offers of help to bring this idea to fruition.
So here we are. Our mission is a simple one, and has a fast turn-around
time too.
We want to provide socks to warm one's feet, gloves to warm one's hands,
and winter hats to warm one's head. All to warm one's soul. Now.
You can help us gather up some warmth to share by collecting socks, gloves
and winter hats, and sending them to:
Socks for Sandy
P.O. Box 520
Little Egg Harbor, NJ 08087
Please mail by Friday, November 9 since the need is urgent.
This can be a great project to involve your kids in, because it all comes
down to giving a bit of warmth to someone in need. Laura will receive all
packages and immediately take these to the local hurricane shelter. Any
excess will be given to the other hurricane shelters up and down New Jersey's
coastline. What started as an idea has blossomed into warmth, and it is
simple to get involved.
Another way to help:
Our family continues to send our love & prayers to those effected by
Sandy.
Thank you so much stopping by my blog!
If this is your first time visiting I’d love to keep in touch.
