500 Pairs of Warm Socks Donated to Homeless People

Heat Holders, makers of the popular thermal sock, just donated more than 500 new men’s and women’s pairs to Doctors Without Walls-Santa Barbara Street Medicine and the Santa Barbara Rescue Mission. The gift came just as a cold snap and winter storm hit the region. The company regularly works with Goleta-based Direct Relief to distribute free socks to charities and nonprofits across the country. They say their products are five times warmer than traditional cotton socks.
