Sock it to ‘em: Everyone can use a new pair of socks this time of year, especially the homeless. During October, Socktober coordinators are collecting new socks and donating them to homeless shelters to help keep the inhabitants warm. Wilberto Flores, intern volunteer coordinator with the Naval Acquisition Development Program (NADP) (center left), Miranda Flores, Chesapeake Public Charter School student (center), Rear Adm. Paul Sohl, Commander, Fleet Readiness Centers (COMFRC) (center right), along with service members from COMFRC and NAVAIR Logistics and Industrial Operations competency (AIR 6.0), raise awareness of homelessness Oct. 23 by supporting Socktober at the flag post in the Logistics and Industrial Complex located on Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Md. “I believe as veterans it is in our DNA to volunteer like we did for our country, and now we volunteer to help the community,” said Wilberto, who is coordinator of the Socktober effort on base. Sock donations are being accepted at Building 449 first floor, Building 2272, or at The Three Oaks Center outside Gate 2. All donations will benefit The Three Oaks Center.
