These are two areas that will be high need in any high poverty area that many do not think of. Every-year I find someone who will help out the children! I call them angels! Just a few more ideas that will help throughout the year.
PammyJ, what size shoes and socks do you need? Plenty of Villagers will go shopping and can toss them in the backpack.

also, I DID NOT organize this collection at regional centers, I just heard about it and shouted.
