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. 9, the last day of class before exams. Look for boxes in which to donate the socks in many buildings on the McNichols Campus.
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.
