The clothing items, collected during Family Weekend activities at Gardner-Webb, were gifts for some of the many homeless people who visited a city soup kitchen where the GWU group volunteered. In all, more than 2,300 pairs of socks were collected in last year's donation drive, and many of them found the feet of people served by homeless ministries in local communities near Gardner-Webb. The initiative was so successful that the Universi- ty will again collect new men's and women's socks during Family Weekend activities Sept. 11-13. Donations may be dropped off in the entry lobby of the Tucker Student Center on those dates. They can also be delivered to the Henderson Gate at Spangler Stadium during GWU's home football game versus Elon University on Saturday, Sept. 12, at 6 p.m. "These socks will primarily go to local homeless ministries in Cleveland and Cher- okee counties," shared Micah Martin, director of student leadership development and community engagement at Gardner-Webb. "There are two things that homeless ministries ask for the most that they don't seem to have, and that's clean underwear and socks." Some of the Gardner-Webb students who helped organize the sock drive last year were among many on campus who stuffed the socks with toiletry items for the homeless, Martin said. Several of those students also participated in the trip to New York, where the clothing items were distributed. Gardner-Webb will take students on a fall break service trip for a second straight year this October as a group travels to Chicago. "It was neat last year for students to meet the people who walked off with those socks," Martin refl ected. "There are 2,300 warm pairs of feet now that those socks are out there. Those donations aren't something getting stuffed in a drawer. Some- one is wearing each pair, and probably wearing them out."
