The Detroit Mercy chapter of Alpha Sigma Nu, the National Jesuit Honor Society, is holding its annual “Sock Drive” for the homeless.
One of the struggles of homeless people is taking care of their feet, especially in the winter. They need warm, dry socks, which are often hard to come by. You can help by donating socks to the Alpha Sigma Nu annual sock drive.
This drive begins Tuesday, Nov. 19 and runs through Monday, Dec. 16, the last day of class before exams. Look for signs and boxes for sock donations in the main lobby of the Chemistry Building, in the CHASS office in the Briggs Building, in the Commerce & Finance Building, in the Student Center and on the second floor of the Dental School by the Special Functions Room.
Donated socks will be given to the Pope Francis Center and other programs for homeless people in the Detroit area.
In the last two years, Alpha Sigma Nu has collected more than 1,200 pairs of socks.
