SOCKTOBERAs the weather gets colder, many of our neighbors are in need of something small that makes a big difference - a warm, clean pair of new socks. Join us this Socktober in collecting new socks of all sizes for men, women, and children in our local community. Socks are
the most requested and least donated items at shelters, so this Socktober drop off a new pair of socks in the white laundry baskets in the CAC or SMB buildings at Central. Let's continue to work together to experience and share the love of Christ in NWA! |
