🧦 Help KEDC collect new socks for our neighbors!

A clean, dry pair of socks can make a cold day a little more comfortable. And for people experiencing homelessness, a fresh pair isn’t always easy to come by. In one study, nearly 4 in 10 participants said they didn’t change into clean socks every day.

KEDC is collecting new, unworn socks in all sizes through Monday, December 14, 2026, to support individuals and families in our communities.
