Annual "Sock-It-To-Us" Sock Donation Drive is a Success!
As of December 20, 2018 we received over 400 pair. Every month women are released from the Wisconsin Women’s Correctional System to our communities. Many of the women come out with little but the clothes on their backs. Our Welcome Home Kits provide several basic personal essentials such as soap, lotion, toothbrush/paste, deodorant and socks. Kits are shipped statewide. Now that cold weather is here, we put more than one pair in each box. We work with women on a supportive path home. In lieu of socks, please consider a donation of $10.00 to purchase socks.
View the complete information here. You can still give any time of year!
