friends, the Care Bears. The Care Bears is a group of five 7th grade students
from </span><span style="font-family: Verdana;">San Diego</span><span style="font-family: Verdana;">, </span><span style="font-family: Verdana;">CA</span><span style="font-family: Verdana;">. As part of their humanities school project, these
fine young people have chosen to help the homeless in Downtown San Diego by
providing them with care packages. Back in Feb, the group contacted Comfort
Socks with some questions – and after a few email exchanges – it became clear
to me that the heart of these young people will be a great comfort to those
they touch. And it is the desire of Comfort Socks to show the world what some
effort with good-spirited heart can do. We are grateful to know the Care Bears and
appreciate that they have let us share their story with our Comfort Socks family.</span>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #000099;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">So far, the Care Bears have planned
out the contents of their care bags, and are working on ways to purchase or receive
donations of the care bag items themselves. The Care Bear members have put up
collection bins, are in the process of asking Target about a sponsorship, are
planning on holding a night at one of the local restaurants in their community
where a percentage of the bill goes to their project. They have accomplished
getting their local elementary schools involved and with students making a
cheerful pieces of artwork with something inspiring written on, and cards of
hope, sure to brighten the day of those who receive a care bags from the Care
Bears group. I know one thing for sure, the Care Bears have brightened my day,
just by seeing their caring works in action. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Keep up the great work, Care Bears, and perhaps in
the future we may hear of you joining the Comfort Socks family of sock
collectors. </span></div>Comfort Sockshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15432982552089139918noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1167416269015507868.post-75414326013793213712011-03-13T16:04:00.000-04:002011-03-13T16:04:00.685-04:00Comfort Socks and Lemons to Aid partner to form the Lemon Crew<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We happily received over 400 pairs of these durable, supportive, breathable, and very soft and comfy socks to be enjoyed by the homeless men of America we serve. Here is a bit about SOLE.<br /><br />SOLE is a Canadian-based company established in 2000, with the launch of our first Custom Footbed. Our goal was to develop a superior footbed, at a price anyone could afford. We looked at products on the market from $350 custom orthotics to generic cushioning insoles. By rethinking the manufacturing process we brought together the very best technical elements to encourage balance, stability, alignment, proper weight distribution and a custom fit. Since then, we've introduced 7 additional footbeds, performance-based socks, and an outstanding line-up of orthopedic sandals.<br /><br />To learn more about SOLE, please visit <br />http://www.yoursole.com/Comfort Sockshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15432982552089139918noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1167416269015507868.post-8195853498685844122010-09-01T18:05:00.000-04:002010-09-01T18:05:20.919-04:00Comfort Socks Receives Socks from Europe<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Today Comfort Socks received socks from Europe</span></span>.<br />

So many people in our country are too scared, ashamed or wounded in their heart and spirit to sleep in a homeless shelter at night. Even during the summer months, socks are so important. They keep the insects away and provide warmth. We are after the comfort a new pair of socks can bring to someone.<br /><br />Many people have pledged to send socks, and they really mean to, but sometimes the mission is not completed.<br />
<br />
Please help us do our work. The requests are coming in from the shelters, and we are working very hard to keep our inventory flowing.<br /><br />Please contact me directly if you have any questions. Every single pair of socks matters, so please, socks are small thing, but they really do make a big difference to the person's feet who would otherwise be cold and wet.<br /><br />If you collect socks, email me for the delivery address.<br /><br />If you would like to donate, every dollar helps 2 people.<br /><br />Our June Newsletter is out now, and don't forget to enter our contest.<br /><br />We apprecaite you so much.<br /><br />Sincerely<br /><br />Theresa TeseComfort Sockshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15432982552089139918noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1167416269015507868.post-6376798143628355162010-05-31T21:57:00.001-04:002010-05-31T21:58:34.252-04:00Comfort Socks May 2010 Newsletter is now readyDear Comfort Socks Family<br />

But last Saturday evening, at St. Peter the Fisherman church in Wilmington, NC, the performances of the King and the Bride far surpassed what we expected (sort of like our Lord's blessing to us - always better than we can imagine).<br />
<br />
What has this show got to with Socks, you may ask? Well, Comfort Socks
applauds these young men and women, who took so much of their time and
themselves to share the story of Christ returning for His church set in
contemporary time. We are proud to be in relationship with the youth of America in any positive of expression of God's goodness, kindness, and love.<br /><br />The screenplay was written simply but powerfully. The story takes place in modern day America and starts with a young boy pretending to be sick so he didn't have to go to school. A concerned uncle learns while visiting with the boy, that he is confused as to the angry reaction of a school mate. The uncle proceeds to tell the story of Sams undying love for Lucy, an angry and bitter, feeling very abandoned and worthless young woman <br /><br />The story reveals the truth of God's love for us, and His many attempts to show His love through His grace, understanding, and hopes in our lives.<br /><br />I was so touched by the story, and thrilled to learn that the music was original and written especially for the show by William, the young man who played Sam (one of the lead characters). The props and set was well thought out. All the actors did a unbelievable job, but the performances of William (Sam) and Casey (Lucy) really touched our hearts.<br /><br />Would like to mention that we were invited to the performance by Deacon David Hueholt of St. Peter the Fisherman church, who receives socks from us to support their Early Bread Program. The Early Bread program gives socks on Sunday Mornings to the Wilmington, NC area homeless along with breakfast and encouragement. After the performance, we were excited to learn that William, who played Sam in the show, was David's son. William and Casey- Bravo for an excellent performance.<br /><br />
The consensus is that the Lord is not quite done with this great show - so we will watch expectantly for the next performance.Comfort Sockshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15432982552089139918noreply@blogger.com0
