There are veterans out there who need white crew socks.
They also need toothbrushes and toothpaste, bar soap, lip balm and more personal items.
The veterans reside at the VA home in Salisbury, and one of the newest clubs at Davie High School – the Red Cross Club – is collecting these items through Dec. 16. WalMart gift cards are also being accepted.
It’s the brainchild of Sean Lane, the club’s president.
“Its (club) mission is to prevent and alleviate human suffering in times of emergencies by mobilizing the power of volunteers and the generosity of donors,” Lane said. “The members are very excited to help the community. My goal is not only to help our community, but to create a group of peers who can build off of each other with encouragemnet and constructive criticism.”
It is an extension of Red Cross.
