Miles of socks collected
Walnut Grove United Methodist Church is located between Dunkirk and Kenton Ohio. Three bags traveled this morning to the Hannah's Socks office via car. Nancy Musselman, who is the director of their Jr. church, dropped off the socks on her way to Michigan. Nancy had read about Hannah's Socks in Guidepost and thought her Jr. church would help.
The entire church participated! Nancy said that Toledo is 70-75 miles North of her church so they had fun figuring out the feet and then miles of socks they had collected. All in all Walnut Grove UMC collected 283 pairs of new socks! Nancy also shared that they are in the process of beginning a food pantry in conjunction with neighboring churches. "I believe that God has directed us to do more outreach in our community. Maybe the collection of socks started it," she said. Many thanks go out to Pastor Jeff Waite, Nancy and the entire congregation! We wish you many blessings as you go forth with your food pantry plans.
