Socks for Soldiers
An Indiana girl is warming hearts and warming the feet of soldiers in Afghanistan.
Alison Mansfield of Fort Wayne is collecting wool socks for American Troops in Afghanistan. Her “Socks for Soldiers” campaign runs through December 15th.
But this isn't the first time Alison has had American soldiers on her mind. Since 2005, Alison has collected letters, cookies, and personal-hygiene items to ship to troops overseas.
Recently, Alison was mailing a shipment of letters when the postal clerk mentioned a relative serving in the cold mountains of Afghanistan who kept asking for warm socks.
"That just sort of gave me another idea," Alison said.
If you'd like to donate wool socks for troops serving in Afghanistan, mail them to: D. Mansfield, 7136 Pine Lake Road, Fort Wayne, IN 46814, where they will be packaged for shipment. Cash donations to defray shipping costs are appreciated.
