Young Alumni Day of Service with Socks in the City 2020

Join your fellow alumni for a day of service in New York City!

Young alumni volunteers will work in groups to deliver socks and other goods to New Yorkers experiencing homelessness. Donations were collected during the annual Winter All-Jesuit Happy Hour. Make an immediate impact on the life of someone in our community and connect with New Yorkers experiencing homelessness. Learn more about Socks in the City and its founder, Cat Fernando, FCLC ’20.

Participants who are able to do so are encouraged to bring additional donations to the project. You may consider organizing a mini donation drive in your own community!

Items in need include:

• new men’s socks that reach above the ankle
• toothbrushes
• deodorant
• sanitary products
• gloves and handwarmers

In an effort to be eco-friendly, volunteers are encouraged to bring their own tote bags with which to distribute donations. Make sure to wear comfortable shoes and dress in warm clothing!
