Alfred Sanchez, better known on the streets of Citrus Heights as the Snack Man, is looking to collect 3,000 pairs of socks to distribute to people experiencing homelessness in Citrus Heights.
Sanchez told The Sentinel he organizes a different assistance effort during his birthday month each year. This year, Sanchez is hoping to be active in making contact with homeless individuals about 300 days out of the year and have enough pairs of socks to distribute 10 pairs each day.
A previous sock drive netted more than 800 pairs of socks, he says. Sanchez said socks are “critical” to homeless hygiene.
Donations can be made through the end of March at Grocery Outlet at 6059 Auburn Blvd., or at Sanchez’ home at 6253 Longford Drive.
