When I was young, I admired clever people. Now that I am old, I admire kind people. (Abraham Joshua Heschel)
IT'S SOCKTOBER ONCE AGAIN! Each night in the United States, an estimated 660,000 people live on the streets. During the month of October, consider showing how even a small act of love, such as donating a new pair of socks, can make a big difference in the lives of our neighbors who are homeless. It's really simple. During this month of October, find out where your local (or the nearest) homeless shelter is (this will be a good exercise). Here's a link to find out about a shelter near you: homelessshelterdirectory.org. (At Upsala Presbyterian Church, we will be bringing new pairs of socks to the church, and at the end of the month our sock donations will be taken to a homeless shelter in Sanford.) New socks are often one of the most needed and yet least donated items. So, gather up some new socks and take them to a local homeless shelter. Little things can make a big difference. Like socks. And you. ___________________________________
