THE VALUE OF A PAIR OF SOCKS IS WAY MORE THAN THE PRICE
Homeless people struggle to find clean dry socks to wear. As a result, they can develop both trench foot and warm water immersion foot.
A homeless person with a history of this is 8 times more likely to die in the next 5 years compared to a person who is not homeless.
YOU CAN HELP BY:
Donated socks can be left with Perth Homeless Support Group at 28A Munt St, Bayswater or collected by Rotary.

of socks

THE BEST TREATMENT IS PREVENTION
Once trench foot or warm water immersion foot has developed healing occurs only when the feet are cleaned, dried and exposed to air for weeks. The best treatment is prevention and the best prevention is to wear clean dry socks.
