IPSWICH - Ipswich Rotary will be collecting new socks, hats and gloves to help the homeless this<br />
winter. All donated items will be given to the Starlight Ministries in Boston. This drive is part of the<br />
club’s “Homeless and Hunger Initiative”. Between now and November 15th, you can make donations<br />
at the following Ipswich locations: First Ipswich Bank – 31 Market St, Mark Warner’s Martial Arts<br />
Academy – 43 Market St, TD Bank – 23 Market Street, Ipswich. Hats and Gloves are always needed<br />
to stay warm. BUT WHY COLLECT SOCKS FOR THE HOMELESS? Clothing donations to the<br />
homeless rarely include socks. When asking homeless service organizations: What do you need the<br />
most? The answer consistently is … Socks. Clean, dry socks are important to good health. Members<br />
of the homeless population spend most of their time walking from place to place, frequently with<br />
inadequate socks and poorly fitting shoes. Health conditions like diabetes, prevalent in the homeless<br />
population, can further complicate the danger of poor foot care to include skin ulcers, infections and<br />
even tissue death.<br />
