Join Ethan Edstrom and his Saves for Socks campaign for the Boyle Street Community Services. Ethan will donate a pair of socks for every save he makes in November & December. Lets help Ethan reach his goal of donating 250 pairs of socks! Donated socks can be dropped off at Gold in the Net & feel free to bring the Saves for Socks campaign to your team! Boyle Street Community Services Our homeless clients spend much of their time walking the streets – day and night in the bitter cold, wearing out their socks with no means to replace them. Take a moment and think about your socks. They keep your feet dry, warm and cozy. And if they don’t – you get new ones. They’re disposable, unless you can’t afford another pair. Help us by giving the gift of warm feet this winter. Without a good pair of socks - our clients can face amputations. About 40% of our clients have diabetes, which often causes circulation problems that can lead to amputations. Without good socks, this problem increases. Even clients who arent predisposed to these issues face problems with foot rot because of wet socks. We hand out thousands of socks but the need continues.
