Hannah's Socks • warm feet, warm hearts

Well, after being gone for what seemed like forever, I was finally able to go to the Downtown Toledo Library to help with Hannah's Socks this past weekend!

It was definitely a chilly, breezy morning for the month of May along with an initial threat of rain, but Mother Nature cooperated. She decided to give a little sunshine as we gave away a couple hundred pairs of socks!

Thanks to Tabitha and Mike, who secured the boxes and card tables from the wind as folks lined up to see what Hannah's Socks had to share. There were definitely some new faces waiting for socks but some of my old friends were there, too.

One man told me he had a need for socks as he was awaiting heel surgery. Another young man shared that he was so thankful for the long socks he received because he is working construction right now and has to wear work boots. A third man was so pleased that we had socks that would fit his four children that were with him. Another man expressed his appreciation as he lifted his pant leg to show that he didn’t have any socks on!

Before volunteering with Hannah’s Socks, I would have never imagined meeting so many people and hearing so many stories about the need for something as simple as socks.

Speaking for the many, many, MANY people who have received socks from your generous contributions to Hannah’s Socks, THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! to everyone who's supported Hannah's Socks.
