🧦✨ It’s National Sock Day! ✨🧦
Did you know socks are one of the most requested—and least donated—items for people experiencing homelessness? Clean, warm socks can make a world of difference, especially during the cold months.
Today, on National Sock Day, we invite you to help us meet this essential need. Please consider donating: New adult-size socks (men’s and women’s)
Drop them off at St. John Center during regular hours. Every pair you give brings comfort, dignity, and care to our neighbors. 💛 Let’s celebrate National Sock Day by filling our shelves with warmth!

Someone just sent me this. Believe it’s the Dollar Tree
🧡 Shelter Supply Drive 🧡
Our shelter is in need of essential supplies to help us continue supporting our neighbors with comfort, dignity, and care. Every donation — big or small — makes a real difference in someone’s life.
If you’re able, please consider contributing to help keep our shelves stocked and our hearts full. Together, we can make sure everyone has what they need to feel at home.
Thank you for being part of our caring community. 💛
