For the past three years, Foothills United Way has given Boulder and Broomfield County residents the opportunity to make a very warm difference in the lives of those in need. Our Socks & Mittens Drive began in 2004 with a simple goal: to suppliment the many great coat drives that happen each year with a drive to cover other very necessary winter clothing items.
The 2004 drive was good. 2005's was better. And last year was the most successful so far with nearly 2,500 cold-weather items - socks, mittens, hats and scarves - being donated. We're hoping that this year's 4th Annual Socks & Mittens Drive will be the best ever. With your help - it definitely will be.
So, how can you help? Simple. Start by visiting our web site or call us at 303-444-4013. If you're with a local company, club or organization and would like to host Socks & Mittens collection bins for your employees, members or the public, we'll set you up with everything you need. If you're a private individual looking to donate - we'll tell you where you can drop off your items.
The drive runs from November 14th through December 15th, and we ask that you donate new, unused socks, mittens, hats and scarves. All donations will be distributed to local nonprofit organizations who assist individuals and families in need. We thank you, as does your community!
