Socks for Soldiers Drive
•April 16, 2025•
1,222 pairs of socks were collected by the East Central Illinois Red Cross Club in February for the Socks for Soldiers Drive. This number exceeded the goal of 1100 pairs that had been set for the entire South and West Central Illinois Red Cross Region, which consists of 33 counties.
Club members met with Val Logan, a Red Cross volunteer from the Decatur office, to give her the socks on February 27.
“She was overwhelmed by the amount of socks that we collected. She mentioned that the goal for the 33 county region was 1100 pairs. She was astonished that we surpassed that just from Sullivan, “stated SHS junior Liam Donovan who, along with sophomore Ellie Lehaman, spearheaded the club’s efforts to collect socks.
