‘SOCK THE HOMELESS’ at the ‘Y’

“SOCK THE HOMELESS” ON #GIVINGTUESDAY

Press Release, 11/28/2017
PERTH AMBOY – On Tuesday, November 28, 2017, people all over the world come together for one common purpose: TO CELEBRATE GENEROSITY AND GIVING. Join the RARITAN BAY AREA YMCA on #GivingTuesday by donating SOCKS! Socks are the number one most requested item in homeless shelters, so let’s give the gift of warm and toasty feet to those experiencing homelessness and poverty. Last year, we collected over 1,000 pairs of socks – and with your help, we can do it again. Take your first step in making a difference and building a BETTER US BECAUSE WE CAN’T DO IT ALONE! Starting November 28 through December 26, bring NEW socks to the Y, let’s show those who are less fortunate how a little warmth may spread so much joy this season. For more information or to join us in this season of giving please contact Yarelis Figueroa, 732.442.3632 or yfigueroa@rbaymca.org.
