Did you know that socks are one of the most requested, but least donated items for people experiencing hardship? Letโs change that โ one pair at a time. ๐We are leading this effort to bring comfort and care to our students, and weโre inviting schools and community members to join in!
๐ Look for collection boxes at every APS school and locations throughout the community.
๐งฆ All donations go directly to students who need them most.
๐ฏ Goal: Warm feet, full hearts, and a stronger, more connected community.
Letโs make this the coziest and kindest Socktober yet! ๐งฆ๐
