Brrrrr, it's cold out there! Consider helping those suffering from exposure to the elements, and make a little girl's dreams come true, too. A local charity, Hannah's Socks, is securing socks for the poor and homeless of metropolitan Toledo and Cincinnati, all because little Hannah Turner, a four year old who accompanied her mother to a soup kitchen to feed the hungry, noticed that some of the men weren't wearing socks, despite the very cold weather. Hannah wanted to give one of the homeless men her own socks, but when it was made clear to her that they wouldn't fit, she decided she wanted to collect warm socks to give to anyone poor and homeless that would otherwise be without them. Thus, "Hannah's Socks" was born, and nearly 60,000 pairs of socks have been collected for men, women and children in need.
