A BIG thank you to all of you who participated in Put Your Best Foot Forward 2008! Over 4,200 pairs of socks were collected and distributed this holiday season (a record breaking year)! This year 44 boxes went out into libraries.
In partnership with local schools Robinson Township Library collected 3 boxes of socks and was featured in a photo with Steelers kicker, Jeff Reed. Other participating ACLA partners included OASIS and the Homeless Children’s Education Fund. Thought you would enjoy the highlight below which RSVP is featuring on their website:
THANKS TO ALL WHO “PUT YOUR BEST FOOT FORWARD”
Throughout the fall, RSVP paired up with the Allegheny County Library Association to collect more than 4,200 pairs of socks for individuals served by homeless shelters and other non-profit organizations.
With the arrival of cold weather, these children and adults truly are in need of new warm socks. The people of Western Pennsylvania are generous and care about their neighbors, so I’m very grateful to each and every person and organization who stepped up for this very good cause.
