ODESSA, Texas — United Supermarkets donated 1,000 pairs of socks to the Salvation Army in Midland and Odessa Wednesday.
The socks were donated as part of its Pears for Pairs initiative.
For every purchase of Rainier pears or apples during fall and winter, a portion of the proceeds went to buying socks to donate to organizations supporting the homeless population.
500 pairs each will go to Midland and Odessa's branches, with thousands more going to other organizations in places like Abilene and Lubbock.
