For people experiencing homelessness, the need for new, white socks is critical. Spending hours on their feet, with walking as their primary mode of transportation, and being exposed to extreme weather conditions, too often, the people served by BHCHP face painful infections and avoidable health complications when unable to access new, clean socks. Each day, BHCHP relies on donations of new, white socks to distribute to more than 10,000 patients. By participating in this sock drive, you will be providing patients with a basic essential to protect their health and giving them the gift of comfort and dignity.

• Donate New White Socks to donation bins at any school, just look for our donation box at the entrance.
• Donate by Venmo to @DianneJ10 with “Sox for Socks” in the message tab.
