That is probably a very good feeling you were rewarded with. Earlier this year there was a drive for the homeless. I had a lot of clothes to donate' some decent untorn jeans but a little worn. Packages of new underclothes. I had also called ahead of time and asked about some socks and was told no. Only new and clean underclothes. I had all these "darned' socks that after DH gets the smallest hole in them, he's ready to pitch. I saved them then darned them. With some neighbors who donated some blessing bags and more "darned clean socks" we took them to a shelter who said "no" again to the socks. Had my hatch open and people came up and asked me for the same as you. Towels, undergarments, toiletries. We were out of the socks in no time. We had over 200 pair of "darned clean socks". A couple of the neighbors have learned to darn. These socks are all very cushy and yes for the ladies also. One of the ladies does a little extreme couponing for the toiletries, soaps, toothpaste and brushes.
