A Pair of Socks

Our charity is all about providing an essential need to the homeless - socks. Most people who donate to the homeless will donate food, jackets, clothes, but rarely do they provide socks and under clothing. After much research, we discovered not only do socks provide warmth, socks protect their feet from getting cuts and sores. People get diseases through their feet because a cut in the foot allows disease to travel into the bloodstream. We also partner with other non-profits who provide clothing for the homeless or battered women and their children. The charities have come to us because socks are not an easy piece of clothing to provide for the homeless. Yet, socks are so critical. They are critical to school children who want to fit in with their classmates and not have anyone know they are homeless. Socks are important to the homeless. One man stated "when I lived under the bridge, when I received a new pair of socks, I felt part of the human race." We want to provide hope to the sometimes hopeless. If giving a person a pair of clean socks and a bag of food gives them hope as well as provides a means to stay healthy, then we have achieved our goal.

Our Needs

We are a tiny, family based charity who has found a calling to provide for the less fortunate. We are looking to raise $5000 in order to provide as many backpacks of socks and under clothing for the homeless. This year, we were given 1000 pairs of socks by Bombas. This donation of socks had a huge impact on allowing the charity to provide more bags this year than in our previous 4 years. The funds are used to purchase t-shirts, underwear and some hygiene products as well as more socks. With COVID-19 and the coming winter months, we would like to provide to as many people the comfort of having socks on their feet.
