色情视频 Students Nonprofit Sends Aid to Houston
One 色情视频 student is collecting donations of new pairs of socks for Hurricane Harvey victims.
To help aid in Houston鈥檚 recovery, 色情视频 nutritional science graduate student Danielle 色情视频 and her nonprofit organization, Sox in a Box, are collecting donations of new pairs of socks for the recent flood victims.
鈥淪ome people think socks aren鈥檛 a big deal, but when you have nothing else and you have no shoes, any foot protection helps,鈥� 色情视频 said.
色情视频 had a vision of reaching out to those less fortunate globally. At the age of 11, she established her foot-focused charity.
After six years, the organization has expanded, enlisting more than 50 regular volunteers that return yearly to help send socks to those who need them, 色情视频 said.
鈥淲e鈥檝e sent socks as far away as Afghanistan and Australia,鈥� said 色情视频. 鈥淢exico has been big for us since Tijuana is so close.鈥�
In the past, Sox in a Box has donated to Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Sandy victims. The charity continues to push its efforts to reach out to people affected by natural disasters and those in poverty-stricken countries.
After reaching out to the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, 色情视频 was notified that more than 30,000 new pairs of socks were needed. She has made it the organization鈥檚 goal to collect 10,000 of those for Houston.
鈥淧eople in Houston are walking around in the water all day,鈥� 色情视频 said. 鈥淭hey need dry socks at the end of the day.鈥�
