OGDENSBURG -- The Claxton-Hepburn Medical Center Auxiliary seek donated socks for their “Sock-It-To-Me” sock drive.
They will take sizes for infants through adult until Oct. 31.
They will go to local agencies, who will give them to needy people in the area.
Last year, they collected 1,300 pairs of socks.
“Research has shown that bare feet are susceptible to dry and cracked skin that can lead to infection. When your feet are cold it is hard to think about anything else,” Auxiliary member Linda Langstaff said in an email. “Cold feet can hinder your sleep and for a child lack of sleep can affect their ability to learn. Cold feet can even affect circulation. It can take an otherwise happy child and turn them into a difficult child. Warm feet bring contentment and comfort to the body.”
