BUTLER TWP — Sandy Norris started collecting items for different community donation drives when her son was deployed overseas in the military.

Over the course of this year, she has collected more than 100 pairs of socks from stores during her usual shopping trips. Knowing that socks are a common need for many people, Norris dumped her year’s haul into a donation bin at the Butler Township Municipal Building on Wednesday, hoping that they will get to people in need.

Sock collection bins are available in the Butler Township Municipal Building, Butcherine's Distributor, Snyder Excavating, Missing Links Brewery, Fast and Fair Auto Repair, the Beer Garden Sports Bar & Grille and Rock Ann Haven until Dec. 11.
