MIDLAND United Supermarkets and Market Street will donate 1,000 pairs of socks to the Salvation Army of Midland and the Salvation Army of Odessa (500 pairs each) following its Apples & Pears on a Mission initiative (formerly Pears for Pairs) at 10:00 a.m. Thursday, February 29, at the Market Street located at 4706 North Midkiff Road in Midland.
Through the fall and winter months, for each purchase of Rainier Fruit pears and apples, a portion of the proceeds went to purchasing socks to donate to organizations that support the homeless community.
Thanks to United Family guests across the state and Rainier Fruit, a total of 5,000 pairs of socks will be donated to charitable organizations in Amarillo, Midland/Odessa, Lubbock, Abilene, and Wichita Falls.
