MEDIA RELEASE__Generous community support brought in an impressive 659 pairs of socks during the community-wide Socktober drive sponsored by Bluffton Presbyterian Church.

At the November 8 worship service, the church held a “Blessing of the Socks,” with socks piled on the communion table and on the floor around it, and even dangling from the pulpit.

Local organizations, including Bluffton Community Assistance Corporation, will receive the socks to distribute to those in need. Thank you to everyone who donated socks or contributed financially!
