Messiah Sock Ministry
Due to the Coronavirus pandemic affecting supply chains worldwide, along with a huge interest in the Bombas sock program, Messiah received a very small allotment of socks for 2020. The synod-wide project for 2020 needed to be cancelled, and we will see if 2021 brings some different news. We are storing the socks we did receive at the church and will provide details about distribution in early fall. We want to thank all our Messiah members, friends, and community partners for your interest in this wonderful project. We will provide updates as we are able.
