The Lynchburg Area Veterans Council is sponsoring our first annual sock drive to benefit Homeless Veterans in the State of Virginia beginning 01/01/2015. Most people don't realize how important a pair of socks can be for the homeless and less fortunate and just how much they are needed! The goal of the drive is to provide new socks for homeless veteran men and women in Virginia. We are asking the community to donate NEW socks to this cause. We are also accepting NEW undergarments. We can pick up items from organizations or they can be dropped off at : AL Veterans Council, 1301 Greenview Drive, Lynchburg, Virginia 24502. Your organization, agency, business, church or an individual drive can make a huge difference! Please pass this information and thank you for your support!
