There’s nothing nicer than putting on some soft warm socks on those cold winter days. With that thought in mind, ORC members began the “Warm Socks with Warm Wishes” project.

 

 
 

Combining club member donations with club funding, we gathered socks that were appropriate for individuals that are clients of Tioga Opportunities Senior Meal delivery program. This county wide program serves over 100 people, and we were able to reach all of them with socks that fit the bill - warm and comfy, nonslip, and non-binding.

 

 

Wrapped with ribbon and a holiday wish, these small gifts added cheer to the winter days of these county citizens who are often living alone with very limited resources and support. Due to the extra generous response of our Rotary members, more socks are now making it to more feet in need! They are being distributed by Catholic Charities in Nichols, Newark Valley food pantry, Renewal Ranch, Open Door Mission and Rural Ministry in Owego. Our county agencies provide outstanding services and we were honored to aid those efforts!
