It might not be the first thing that comes to mind, but a warm pair of socks is actually the most sought-after item among homeless populations in the United States and Canada. People often donate jackets and blankets, shoes and shirts - but socks are in short supply. Equally surprising - especially for those who have never had to think about their sock drawer in too much depth - is the fact that the humble sock can prevent many common ailments and medical problems as well as warming up cold feet.
How can you help?
For men, women and kids living on the street's life is cold and harsh. Having a pair of new, warm socks is so important. The Outreach Ministry is seeking monetary or new sock donations.
