Parmenter Home Care & Hospice Host Sock Drive

Submitted by Parmenter

Parmenter Home Care & Hospice is currently hosting a sock drive to gather donated socks to support Massachusetts Stand Down Project.

“Stand Down” is a military term referring to the brief period of time a soldier leaves an active combat area in order to rest and regain strength. Today, Stand Down refers to a grass roots, community based intervention program designed to help the nation’s homeless veteran population.

On Friday, Aug. 22, at 256 Freeport St., Dorchester, the socks will be donated to the event which include many free services. Parmenter’s Public Health and Sudbury Board of Health Nurse, Phyllis Schillp, RN, is organizing the event as she is volunteering her nursing services on the 22nd.

If you would like to support this effort, you can donate:
• Packages of new socks
• Diabetic socks
• Travel size Toiletries- deodorant, powder, shaving cream, BIC shavers, lotion

Please bring your donations by Aug. 21 to the Parmenter Home Care & Hospice offices located at 266 Cochituate Road, Wayland MA. For more information please contact us at 508-358-3000.
