Clean, well-fitting socks are a vital part of keeping feet healthy, yet this simple piece of clothing is anything but simple to someone experiencing homelessness. The supply of donated socks is scarce, which is why The Birches at Newtown has partnered with its in-house podiatrist Lawrence C. Kalker, M.S., D.P.M, P.C., to collect brand-new socks.
A fresh pair of socks provides much-needed warmth, comfort and relief to those in need. From Dec. 1 through Dec. 20, The Birches, located at 70 Durham Road, will be a drop-off site for new, quality socks in various sizes for men, women and children. The collection will benefit Valley Youth House and Bucks County Emergency Homeless Shelter.
