One Warm Shirt
and Socks,
2020
|
I have a simple request, whether you live in the Bay Area or anyplace else in our country, I want the shirt off your back and the socks off your puppies. Over the past seven years I have been lucky enough to partner with St. Anthony Foundation and NBC Sports Bay Area in growing our
One Warm Shirt Program. This year we are adding the warmth of socks to grow the program.
We are collecting as many sweatshirts, hoodies, long sleeves, t-shirts and now athletic socks as possible to donate to the San Francisco community served by the St. Anthony Foundation. You are receiving this request because you donated in the past or might donate in the future and have always exhibited the spirit of philanthropic community-focused proactivity in helping others. This note is a reminder to either set aside items before the holidays take over for a follow-up communication or send to us now.
The distribution event will be a part of a post-holiday lunch served to recipients during
the week of February 24, 2020 at the 8th annual One Warm Shirt & Socks
event.
Please send what you have:
* New or gently used
* All sizes
* From the bottom of your drawer, storeroom, irregular pile, gym bag, attic or basement
* Misprinted logo bin
* Events that no longer exist
* Logos or colors that are too garish for your style

Sports Prep Star -- Alan Lloyd
Ygnacio Valley-Concord -- Football -- Senior
Alan Lloyd shined in the defensive secondary while competing in the Jr Prep Sports California Patriot Bowl senior All-Star game on Dec, 28 at Diablo Valley College. Picking up right where he left off from a season in which he had 12 interceptions for a 7-4 Ygnacio Valley team, Lloyd picked the ball off three times in the all-star game. His efforts earned him the game's MVP award for a Liberty Team squad that won, 7-6. He was also selected to represent NorCal on an All-Star team that will travel to Hawaii for the JPS Paradise Classic from Jan. 8-11.
