United Way Presents ‘Socks for Seniors’
Help us spread warmth and cheer to homebound seniors
this season!
 WATERTOWN - United Way of
Northern New York (UWNNY), in partnership with Watertown Savings Bank,
invites the community to participate in a heartwarming new initiative:
Socks for Seniors. Now through December 12, community members are
encouraged to donate new, cozy socks to help spread holiday cheer and
remind local seniors that they are loved this season.
While a pair of
socks may seem like a small gift, UWNNY knows that small acts of kindness
can make a big impact. Socks for Seniors is a way for everyone to partake
in the spirit of the season, to let our older neighbors know that someone
cares. UWNNY is hopeful the community will have fun shopping for socks that
are less about practicality and more about
spreading comfort and joy.
Donations will be
collected by United Way and distributed through Meals on Wheels and other
senior meal delivery services across Jefferson, Lewis, and St. Lawrence
Counties this December, in hopes of delivering countless smiles throughout
the North Country.
