We are so thankful to have been a part of the St Thomas of Villanova Day of Service! On Saturday, September 19, members of the Villanova University Women's Volleyball Team gathered together to personalize and mail service project packets to 400+ schools in the tri-state area encouraging them to host a sock drive. Their hard work, kindness, and team spirit make a difference both on and off the court!

As a continued reminder about the importance of new socks, we recently received this message from our dear friend Bill Bishop who serves with the Sisters of Charity in Kensington.

“Tom and Nancy, we had a very productive day today. We served over 200 people with food and clothing. With all the rain we’ve had, we went through a lot of socks, shirts, pants, shoes etc. No matter how much we bring down, it is never enough but we took care of many in need. Thank you and your volunteers at The Joy of Sox for all of your donations. You have done so much for the poorest of the poor for so many years. I wish you were able to receive the appreciation first hand that we get from the needy. They are so grateful for all you do. God bless all of you.”

Today, we pause to remember.

Twenty-five years later, we honor the nearly 3,000 lives lost on September 11, 2001, and the countless families and communities forever changed by that day.

We remember the courage of the first responders and heroes who ran toward danger. We honor the strength, compassion, and unity that emerged in the days that followed.

May we continue to remember, to honor, and to carry their legacy forward.

25 years. Always remembered. Never forgotten. 🇺🇸
