Our good friend Annemarie from New York has done it again. 72 pairs of socks....awesome, I was concerned our sock number was so much lower then last year...this is wonderful. 72 pairs of warmer, dryer feet. ANd 33 of those chemical hot packs to aid in their fight to stay warm. The hot packs are good for ones pockets, under ones blanket if living outside; as well as good for those waiting on the bus while the various family shelters aid them in finding jobs, and housing.
2013 working calendar is not yet posted, but our focus for January will be slippers. Please see slipper tab.
