A woman from Rhode Island, Karen, and her husband, Mike, who is a pastor, donated 329 pairs of Covert Threads socks that were included in the care packages we sent on July 23rd.

For those who have never heard of Covert Threads, they are the most ideal socks for deployed Marines. They were engineered by a Marine, for Marines, and there are three variations: two that are meant for extreme weather conditions and one that is fire-retardant. Karen and Mike donated 329 pairs of "Sand" which is ideal for extremely hot weather conditions. They say that they plan to donate the "Ice" variation when winter rolls around.

The couple raised the funds to purchase the socks by visiting local churches and giving a short presentation about their goal. In addition to the 329 pairs of socks, they also included 329 letters of encouragement and 329 pocket-sized Gospels of John.

Thank you to Karen and Mike for donating these socks that will help keep our Marines' feet dry and comfortable!
