District 230 ESPs seeking sock donations

Donations of NEW socks - all sizes, varieties and colors welcome

The District 230 Educational Support Professionals’ Association is seeking sock donations as part of its annual Socktober Sock Drive. Last year, the Association helped make winter a bit warmer across the south suburbs for those in need thanks to the combined efforts of students and staff at Sandburg, Stagg, and Andrew High Schools with a grand total of 8,652 pairs of socks donated in the month of October.

Socks are among the most requested, but least donated items at homeless shelters, District 230’s support staff is organizing Socktober at each high school with the goal of bringing some comfort to those in need by simply providing a clean pair of socks.

New socks of all colors, varieties, and sizes are requested and can be dropped off through the end of the month at the main office of Sandburg, Stagg or Andrew high school or at the District Administration Center.
