United Supermarkets, Market Street donate 5,000 socks across Texas

United Supermarkets and Market Street have made a significant contribution to the homeless community by donating 1,000 pairs of socks to the Salvation Army in Midland and Odessa, Texas. This initiative, known as 'Apples and Pears on a Mission,' is part of a broader program that has resulted in a total of 5,000 pairs of socks being distributed across Texas this winter. The program, which has been running for six years, has successfully donated over 30,000 pairs of socks to various charitable organizations. Faith Mission of Wichita Falls also benefited from a separate donation of 1,000 pairs of socks, highlighting the critical need for winter gear during the colder months. Both initiatives emphasize the importance of warm clothing for individuals facing hardship, with community leaders expressing gratitude for the contributions. The donations were made possible through proceeds from the sale of Rainier Fruit apples and pears, showcasing a collaborative effort to support those in need.
