Newtown podiatrist Dr. Lawrence Kalker recently partnered with Valley Youth House in Warminster and the Bucks County Emergency Homeless Shelter in Levittown for the ninth annual Holiday Sock Drive to benefit both facilities.
This year, more than 3,000 pairs of brand new socks were donated by Kalker’s patients and other generous community members. Since 2013, more than 13,000 pairs of socks have been collected.
