Mission
Sock Drive Continues
In 2025, over to 2,000 pairs of socks were collected and distributed to shelters and free stores across Columbus. We know there are thousands of freezing toes in Central Ohio, and we are begging for warm socks for men, women and children again this year. Can we continue to build on the mission fostered for many years by Pam Hume and Marylou Posey?
Please bring socks to Fellowship Hall now through Sunday, January 25, which is Sock Collection Day! Up to 20 volunteers are also needed to help sort and bundle socks on Jan. 25 after the 10AM service. Contact Suzanne Surface.
