We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who was in any way involved in this year's sock drive.  We were able to exceed what we collected last year, and therefore, include a couple of new recipients.

 
The organizations that benefited are:
 
*Poverello House (www.poverellohouse.com)
*Matthew's Closet (www.bishopgorman.org)
*Women's Resource Center (www.womensresourcecenter.net)
*The Salvation Army (www.tsasw.org/corps.asp)
*Child Haven (www.accessclarkcounty.com) (Juanita @ Bridge Counseling can be reached by e-mail @ This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it )
*WestCare Healthy Families (www.westcare.com) (Candy Kidd @ WestCare can be reached by e-mail @ This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it )
*St. Therese Center (www.sainttheresecenter.org )
 
Divided amongst the above organizations were 3,823 pairs of socks for the needy here in Las Vegas.

 
We received many generous donations of socks and funds.  Our benefactors are listed below:
 
The Devine Family

The employees of The Gap at Rampart Commons
Carol Goodrow
Elizabeth Goodrow
Shirley Haran
Hayes Elementary School PTA

Each of you has contributed to a wonderful cause.  It is no small thing to give a bit of comfort to another human being.  Each organization who received our socks were genuinely grateful for our gift, and each person who will now receive a new pair of socks during this cold weather will know that someone cared enough about them to give.  Thank you!
