Did you know socks are one of the most needed items for people without homes? Socks easily get wet and dirty and they wear out quickly needing to be replaced often.

Our friends at Fuego (ShopFuego) located in Vancouver Mall are having an event called “Be a Sock Elf” for the month of November. For every pair of men’s and ladies’ socks sold (through November 30th) they are donating a pair of socks to the Council for the Homeless Housing Solutions Center!

The goal for this event is 580 pairs of socks, can you help us reach it?! Visit the Fuego store in the Vancouver Mall: 8700 NE Vancouver Mall Dr. #163, Vancouver, WA 98662 buy yourself some snazzy stylish socks for the coming winter or as a holiday gift and help our Housing Solutions Center stock up on socks for those in need in our community.
