After a successful sock collection project last year, Wadena-Deer Creek Family Career, and Community Leaders of America members decided to organize a similar collection Jan. 25-28 at the middle/high school and elementary.
Members Jenny Varela and Amara Neuerberg volunteered to be chairpersons for the Socks for Soldiers project. They created a flyer to promote the project, made a collection box and picked up each day’s collection, according to advisor Cindi Koll. They will soon deliver the 330 pairs of socks to the Eagle’s Healing Nest in Sauk Centre.
