      TCO Collects Socks For

      Homeless Children

         I am pleased and proud to announce the success of our
      office’s holiday sock drive. We challenged our employees to
      donate 3,000 pairs of socks for homeless students in our local
      schools. Our employees demonstrated their commitment to
      our community and exceeded that goal by collecting 4,011
      pairs of socks. The sock drive benefits Living Hungry, a local
      nonprofit.
         Socks are one of the most-requested items among
      homeless children. The socks will soon be distributed to
      homeless school children in Palm Beach County. Living
      Hungry partners with the school district to deliver supplies
      to homeless students in Palm Beach County.
