The Girl Scouts Are Asking for Sock Donations

Socks. They are an article of clothing you probably don’t think about all that often, but if you didn’t have any, you’d probably notice... especially in this recent weather.

The Girl Scouts of Ocean Bay Junior Troop 75284 want to help make sure no one has to know what it’s like to be sockless in the snow with its Winter Sock Drive By going on now.

According to a post on the Swampscott Patch Facebook page, the scouts are collecting NEW socks through Feb. 13 to donate to guests at My Brother’s Table.

“With all this snow any help is greatly appreciated,” the post reads.

Sock donations can be dropped off around Swampscott and Lynn at the following locations:

Swampscott Public Library
Swampscott Town Hall
Swampscott Middle School
The Running Store - Vinnin Square
Connery Ice Rink - Lynn
