Operation Sock Drop – Friends of Boston’s Homeless – Donate by this Friday in box at Alcott: Believe it or not, socks are the most critically needed and requested item in our area’s homeless shelters. New, clean socks provide warmth and comfort as well as help to contribute to good health and hygiene. Unfortunately, socks are highly under-donated because people often wear them until they are no longer usable. Each year, Friends of Boston’s Homeless gives out over 8.000 pairs of socks to people in need. This month, our goal is to contribute 500 pairs of new socks to this cause. Please help us by donating to our collection box in the front entry of the school. Thank you for your help, and we hope you have a safe and happy holiday.
