The Oscars Place is kicking off their annual sock drive early, as there is an immediate need to help clothe the less fortunate here in the community.

 

Donations are now being accepted at Super Thrifty, The Pas Friendship Center, Oscars Place Homeless Shelter, or at 102.9 CJAR.

 

Robert with Oscar's Place Homeless Center shares the importance of sock donations.

Robert says there is an immediate need for socks, but they are also accepting other donations.

 

With winter fast approaching, they will need more warm winter clothing, anything including toques, mitts, jackets, boots, long underwear and other winter essentials.

 

They also accept food donations and are willing to take whatever you can contribute, although it is recommended to call ahead if you are dropping off warm food. They say canned goods and nonperishables will always be accepted, along with toiletries and hygiene products.
