Bring holiday cheer and a new pair of socks to this year’s December Nights!

The City of San Diego is teaming up with San Diego Gas & Electric for a sock drive to benefit unsheltered clients of PATH San Diego.

December Nights attendees can drop off a new pair of socks at the SDG&E booth, look for the all-electric SDG&E truck in front of the House of Hospitality in the Plaza de Panama, or at the Toyota Sienna Sleigh. You can also purchase socks for donation at the Merge 4 booth or the Balboa Park Visitors Center.
