The Forest Park Public Library is holding a sock drive to help increase our stock for the Comfort Cabinet.
The Comfort Cabinet provides access to free toiletry and other needed items to anyone who comes into the Library.
Socks are one of the top items the Library supplies.
From October 11-26, please drop off new socks for us to add to the Comfort Cabinet. You can also send socks through the Library’s Amazon WishList.
