“Sock in the Box” campaign collects thousands of socks for those in need

VNA Hospice and Home Health sponsored a “Sock in the Box” Campaign recently to collect socks which were then donated to different shelters, Veterans groups, Meals On Wheels, and Skilled Nursing facilities to name just a few. Over 4,000 pairs of socks were collected.

Students from St. Mary of Mount Carmel School, Dunmore, also joined in and did a great job in collecting over 2,000 pairs.

VNA extends a big thank you to all of the students, faculty, staff, Administration and family members for the generous sock donations The students had a competition to see which class would donate the most socks and congratulations go out to the 7th grade class for achieving the largest donation.  VNA treated the winning class to a pizza party.
