Socks are the most requested and least donated item at shelters. This October, NADA Academy students changed that story in a big way, rallying classmates to collect more than 13,000 pairs of new socks for neighbors in need across Virginia and Washington, DC. This act of generosity was a testament to their commitment to service and a reminder of the simple ways we can make a big difference in the lives of those less fortunate.
Why socks?
When temperatures drop, clean, dry socks help prevent blisters, infections, and cold-related health issues for people experiencing homelessness. They’re small, affordable, and immediately useful, precisely the kind of item that turns generosity into comfort fast.
To every student, instructor, and staff member who pitched in: thank you! Your generosity warmed hearts and feet, right when it mattered most.
