TL;DR
Dryer Vent Wizard donated socks to local shelters to celebrate National Sock Day and raise awareness about sock donations for the homeless. Dryer Vent Wizard aims to work with Sock It To Em Campaign to reach their 1 million-pair goal for sock donations.
“We know this time of year can be tough for some people and we’re excited to have the opportunity to collaborate with Sock It To Em Campaign to help provide socks to people in need,” said Jason Kapica, President of Dryer Vent Wizard, a Neighborly company. “Socks are the one article of clothing people may forget about when making a donation but providing a brand-new pair of socks through this initiative can make a real difference.”
Dryer Vent Wizard franchise locations and local communities are encouraged to take part in this campaign and donate socks through the Sock It To Em Campaign link found here, or at a local homeless shelter.
"We are thrilled that the small business owners at Dryer Vent Wizard and people within their communities are willing to donate new socks to cover the feet of those who need them," said Susan Lee, Co-Founder and Executive Director of Sock It To Em Campaign. “It’s a great way to get the whole community involved for a good cause that will bring joy and warmth to those in need, and what better time than the Holiday season.”
Sock It To Em Campaign is a nonprofit organization that aims to provide new socks to men, women and children experiencing homelessness and in need. In the past 10 years, Sock It To Em Campaign has given away almost 900,000 pairs of socks in 41 states. Dryer Vent Wizard hopes to work together with Sock It To Em Campaign to reach their 1 million-pair goal for sock donations.
