INVISIBLE PEOPLE
As we listen to voices that too often are not heard, let us put ourselves in the place of those who cry for assistance. CCSA shares this true story for awareness of those who struggle, fight for a sleeping place, are hungry, and often cold and gripped with fear for their safety. Many simply don’t know what happened, it all developed so fast. A crisis is a crisis, no matter how it took place. How can we help and shouldn’t we always respond?
Men, Women & Children’s new or gently used Sandals, sneakers or Flip/flops

This "Sock Drive” was a voluntary effort established and organized by the Branch's own employees to give back to our communities during the holiday season. The generous efforts of these employees generated over 2,000 pairs of socks that they shared with three different organizations including CCSA.
