Hannah's Socks • warm feet, warm hearts

I am thankful to the Three Village Church ladies' bible study for their donation of nearly 50 pairs of socks. As the weather warms, our donations of clothing essential goes down. Most people equate the need for socks as a cold weather need. I did too before I got involved with the homeless population. The donation from these ladies went to a shelter almost immediately. The need is a year round one. The feet of the homeless require socks each and everyday.

Medical experts say that many of the health problems of the homeless are byproducts from life on the streets. The shelters see an abundance of foot problems that range from complications from diabetes to serious fluid retention and lacerations. Putting on a pair of new socks gives them comfort. I've had the privilege of handing out socks to homeless men, women and children. They are always grateful. Their smiles say a lot but their sad eyes tell us that we have more work to do.
