Today's charity is special for a few reasons. First, it essentially began at the Toledo Cherry Street Mission, which is just about a half an hour north of where I live. Second, it's another organization that looks at one of those needs that most of us just kind of take for granted. Third, it was started by a child.
Hannah was four, and helping her mother give out food at the Cherry Street Mission in Toledo, when she realized that one of the men waiting wasn't wearing any socks. Despite her mother's assurances, Hannah knew this man needed socks, and offered him hers. The next day, Hannah and her mother purchased 100 pairs of socks and distributed them to homeless shelters in the area. Thus began Hannah's Socks. Socks are just one of things that we have, and we don't really think about the fact that some people don't. 4-year-old Hannah did, so I gave her charity $30 today.
