Arlington’s Casual Adventure Seeks Socks to Recycle

Socks are one of the most thrown out clothing item, clogging landfills

"There is a tremendous enthusiasm for the whole repurpose movement. People love the idea of finding a new home or a new way to use something that would otherwise be discarded. Casual Adventure goes above and beyond to reach out to the community to make people more aware of the program. Year after year, people continue to find socks to bring in. Casual Adventure has always ranked in the top 10 nationally which is a win/win for everybody involved." — Mitchell McGuinness, Smartwool Regional Representative

Like any major religious event, there are special home-cooked recipes for breaking the fast, mouth-watering and calorie-rich, and it’s hard, when you live across the world, to replace the most important part of Ramadan: the gathering of extended family and friends uniting over the Fitur (breakfast) table as the sun sets.
