LIMA, OH (WLIO) - A good pair of socks can go a long way to helping local teens this winter.
Socks can be dropped them off at the Safy Youth Drop-in Center at 658 West Market Street.
The SAFY Youth Drop-in Center is collecting new pairs of socks so they can be passed out to local teens. During the cold winter months, they saw that a lot of teens are not always wearing good warm socks. So last year, they started their socks drive as a small way to help local teens.

"We can't necessarily house a lot of clothing items or coats. But we find that the teenagers that we serve is just the niche that these new socks that come in, and we can give them that last bit of their wardrobe to keep their feet warm in the colder months that we see coming ahead," says Regina Colwell, Community Outreach Coordinator for SAFY Youth Drop-In Center.Â
Socks of all sizes are being accepted.
They are looking for socks in all sizes. You can drop them off at the SAFY Youth Drop-in Center at 658 West Market Street, next to the Lima Public Library, between 10 a.m. and 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday through November 16th.
