JEFFERSON — In a heartwarming display of community support, Climate Plus Heating + Air has partnered with local nonprofit Nick’s Hope to launch a Socks & Underwear Drive, collecting essential items for individuals in need throughout Jefferson Township and beyond.
The drive, which runs from now through July 14, invites residents to donate new, sealed socks and underwear—some of the most requested yet often overlooked items at shelters and outreach programs. Donations can be dropped off at Climate Plus’s office, located at 5558 Berkshire Valley Road in Oak Ridge, or handed directly to any service technician during a home visit.
“At Climate Plus, we believe in being more than just a service provider—we’re part of this community,” said a spokesperson for the company. “When Nick’s Hope reached out, we knew right away we wanted to get involved and help make a difference.”
Nick’s Hope, a Jefferson-based nonprofit, is dedicated to supporting teens and families in crisis. Through a network of volunteers and donors, it provides clothing, hygiene supplies, food, and emotional support. This drive is a vital part of its mission to bring dignity and relief to those who need it most.
In addition to boosting donations, the initiative aims to raise awareness of everyday needs that are often taken for granted. “Socks and underwear are essential, yet many families can’t afford them,” said representatives from Nick’s Hope. “Thanks to Climate Plus and our generous neighbors, we can provide comfort and care where needed most.”
Community members seeking involvement can call (973) 838-3200 for more details. Every donation—no matter how small—has the potential to make a big impact.
