St. Luke's helps out with project 'Sock-tober'
Local school collects 956 pairs of socks for homeless
Last year, St. Luke’s School’s fourth-graders wanted to do something for those served by the Mobile Loaves and Fishes Ministry truck which delivers food, beverages, gently used clothes and new socks and underwear to the poor and homeless in Providence and Woonsocket.
The local students dubbed the project Sock-tober and it ran for a month and was quite a success.
This year the fourth- and fifth-graders at St. Luke's School expanded the program, setting a goal of collecting 800 pairs of men’s, women’s and children’s socks. They exceeded the goal — collecting 956 pairs which were recently presented to Ed and Mary Fitzgerald, who manage the Loaves and Fishes Ministry for the parish.
