DENVER (KDVR) — It sounds like a perfect tradeoff: free ice cream in exchange for your new or gently-used socks.
Sam Rose, founder and “cream executive officer” of Denver’s RoseBud Ice Cream, is holding a sock drive later this month to collect socks for Denver’s homeless and migrant populations. Socks collected will be donated to the Richard T. Castro Human Services Center to help keep people warm.
“(Socks are) typically the most under-donated piece of apparel at donation drives. So we’re just going to set up a booth, have people come in and donate clean or lightly-used socks, and in exchange for their socks, they get some free ice cream,” Rose told FOX31.
He hopes to collect hundreds of pairs of socks. As an added incentive, Rose said all donors will be entered into a raffle to win an entire month’s worth of free RoseBud Ice Cream.
The sock drive will be held Saturday, March 30, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Leever’s Locavore on 38th Avenue in Denver.
