The season of giving: donate socks, toys for good causes
By Evan Thompson | The Everett Herald
1. Socktober.
Socks are the most requested clothing item at homeless shelters.
Peoples Bank’s sock donation campaign, “Share a Pair During Socktober,” is aiming to donate 5,000 new pairs of socks by the end of the month to nonprofit organizations serving homeless people.
Here’s a few ways you can help:
Donate new, unopened pairs of socks at Peoples Bank branches in Mill Creek, Everett, Edmonds and Snohomish.
Make a cash donation at the local branches.
Take a picture of your “fun socks” — think colorful, whacky, etc. — and share it on Instagram or Facebook. Tag photos with #shareapair. Or visit a branch wearing your fun socks and agree to a photo that will be shared on social media. In either case, People’s Bank will donate a pair of socks to nonprofits.
