Sock It To Homelessness: Through February 20
Buy One - GIVE One
Thank you to everyone who has helped us "Sock It to Homelessness" so far! What a terrific response we've had to this program!
So far, YOU have contributed over 50 pairs of socks to our Treasure Valley homeless neighbors.
The Pulse, in partnership with Drymax socks, have embarked on a mission to "Sock It to Homelessness" by helping to provide warm socks to those in our community who are in need.
Our program goes through February 20, so if you haven't come in yet, there's still time. When you come into either of our store locations (Meridian or Boise) and purchase Drymax socks, we will match every pair you purchase by donating socks to help the many people who do not have warm socks. We have teamed up with The Boise Rescue Mission and the Women's and Children's Alliance for their assistance in helping us get these socks to those who need them.
Thank you for helping to build a stronger, healthier community.
