Thank you to Isner Insurance Associates for their “Socktober” drive!!!!
Isner Insurance Associates will be collecting donations of sock pairs to deliver to The Open Shelter . They will match the first 300 pairs of socks donated!
Why donate socks?
Socks are among the least donated clothing items to shelters. This means that socks are a huge need!
When will Isner Insurance collect socks?
Isner Insurance Associates will be collecting socks all October long and will deliver them to The Open Shelter in early November. You can drop off sock pairs at Isner Insurance’s office during their business hours.
