A huge thank you to Chick-fil-A Somerton and Chick-fil-A Whitman Square for hosting a sock collection to benefit Socks For The Streets. Your generosity and willingness to support our mission means so much to the individuals and families we serve.
Clean, warm socks are one of the most requested items during outreach, and because of your support, we’re able to provide comfort, dignity, and care to those who need it most. We truly appreciate your partnership, kindness, and commitment to helping our community.
Thank you for making a difference—one pair of socks at a time!
