Harford County collects clothing and food in SOCKtober and Thankgiving drives

Harford’s annual “SOCKtober” event, held throughout October, collected more than 3,000 pairs of socks, mittens, gloves and scarves and hats, according to a county news release. These items were donated to local nonprofits serving families, veterans and individuals experiencing or at risk of homelessness. The SOCKtober collection was organized by Harford County government in partnership with Harford County Public Library and We Cancerve Movement, LLC. Harford senior center groups contributed hand-crocheted and knitted items for the cause.
