Sock it to homelessness

Throughout the month of October, Emanu-El is going to “sock it” to homelessness.

The Tzedek Council is collecting adult size socks during October for youth experiencing homelessness in our city. Please bring packs of new adult sizes socks with you when you visit Emanu-El. The donation bin is located in Emanu-El’s Front Office Foyer. Get your family, friends, and community involved to keep the bin filled all month! Please email Rebecca with any questions!

New socks are the number one needed clothing article. They can help people stay warm and dry through the winter and prevent numerous health issues.

Todah Rabah!
