Tom Costello was once afraid of homeless Americans. That didn't change 1 his wife, a volunteer at a homeless shelter (庇护所), asked him to help with a holiday dinner for the shelter residents (居民). Costello remembered going to a 2 first and buying socks for the residents. He knew many of them were in need of clothing, so he thought preparing some socks might be a good idea. At the shelter, Costello put a pair of socks into a bag for a woman. She asked him 3 she could have socks for a friend who wasn't with her that day. He gave her another pair. "She started to cry and told me that 4 had ever given her socks before," Costello said. And he also didn't know so many people couldn't even afford socks.
That experience helped Costello 5 his fear of the homeless. Then he 6 a group called The Joy of Sox. The Joy of Sox was started with just a few volunteers. Later, more and more volunteers joined. It mainly collects socks from donators (捐赠者) and gives them to 7 people. The group now gives socks to shelters in many cities.
Why did the group choose socks? Costello said socks are very 8 in keeping people warm in cold weather. A man named Kiwi, who has lived in homeless shelters, explained that socks are important to people. Kiwi said most of the time he can find enough food in shelters. " 9 socks are much more difficult to get," he noted.
Costello said the 10 of The Joy of Sox is to make more people warm in cold winters. He hoped that it would become the best sock - donation charity in the world.
