This non profit organization is a true blessing to those in need, it provides an opportunity for donors to be a blessing to others. There is a true joy and reward in helping others. Just being a resident of the Gulf Coast I know firsthand how devastating natural disasters can be. My part for the last five years has been donating, giving is the best feeling, especially when it makes a difference in others lives. Lastly, I encourage everyone to consider becoming a part of this wonderful organization that can change the lives of others by donating and volunteering.

I recently had the opportunity to learn about Sock N It, a fantastic non-profit organization that is making a huge difference in the lives of people experiencing homelessness. Sock N It focuses on collecting and donating socks, which happen to be one of the most requested but least donated items for those in need.

What sets Sock N It apart is their dedication to addressing a specific need and doing so with compassion and efficiency. By recognizing the importance of clean and comfortable socks, they are providing a basic necessity that often goes overlooked. These simple items can have a significant impact on the comfort, health, and overall well-being of individuals who don't have a stable place to call home.

I was impressed with Sock N It's commitment to making a tangible difference in the communities they serve. Their efforts to collect and distribute socks to local shelters and homeless individuals are not only admirable but also vital. By focusing on this specific item, they ensure that their resources are used effectively and efficiently, maximizing their impact.

They are proving that even the smallest act of kindness, like donating a pair of socks, can have a profound effect on someone's life. Let's join hands and support Sock N It as they continue their incredible work in helping those in need.

My daughter came home from school one evening so determined to gather up as many socks as possible to take back to her elementary school the next day. When I asked why, she informed me she wanted to help the less fortunate and homeless stay warm and dry and that socks are the most asked for necessity by the homeless. I was extremely proud that she gained this desire to help others through her school’s initiative via “Sock N It”. I brought her to a retail store to purchase new socks for her heartfelt desire. The sparkle in my child eyes as she gripped her bag with socks, her excitement and energy on the next morning’s ride to school, is something I’ll never forget and always be grateful for. Sock N It helps so many less fortunate people and instills compassion and caring in our youth. I will always support this organization and plan on volunteering annually. Thank you, SOCK N IT, for remembering those who have needs and are most times forgotten.

Living in a hurricane prone area in Louisiana, we overcome hurricane season yearly, but in most recent years, we’ve been hit HARD. I always wanted to give back in any way possible to my fellow storm survivors, especially in my hometown. I was so glad I came across Sock’in It, based in SW Louisiana (Jeanerette). I volunteered working with them and I can’t put into words the satisfying feeling I had at the end of each volunteer day. Their staff and other volunteers know how “reach” those in need and provide comfort with what you would think is a simple item, SOCKS. To see the smile and glimpse of hope on the sock recipients faces was enough for me. This is a WONDERFUL organization for adults, as well as children, to volunteer in and/or donate to.

After Hurricane Ida, we were without shelter, food, clothes or transportation. It was a devastating time, an all time low, for me and my children. After finding shelter and being fed, this wonderful organization, Sockin It, donated not only flip flops (we needed for the community showers) but SOCKS. You won’t know the comfort socks provide when you’re cold, uncomfortable and at your wits end. Something about these socks kept me calm and gave me a sense of peace at night when my mind was racing. Thank you a million times over, Sockin’ It. Much love, a grateful Mother

After surviving not one, but two, horrible hurricanes this season (2020), Sock’n It delivered us an essential commodity...clean, warm, dry socks. My children and I were displaced. You won’t know how much clean, warm socks mean to a mother with four children until you’re in a shelter, cold and in need. I can’t thank you all enough. I’ll always support and help this organization in any way I can. May God bless you all. ~ Lake Charles Hurricane Survivor 2020

It my duty to give. This organization have helped countless people, from all walks of life. Their mission is plain. To cover as many feet as they can. Who would not want to take part of such an awesome mission. My giving came through my business. So I didn't do it alone by far. Every client bought a bag of socks and flip flops of all size. For men, women, and children. Even babies. It brings joy to help others. I applaud the work of this organization.

The mission of "Sock It" is a mission that touch many lives. My friend introduced me to it about 3 years ago. I'm a salon owner, and my clients never fail to participate in whatever I ask them because they know it's a mission that I believe in. Together we connected many socks of different colors and sizes. From infants to adults. This organization profits others and I'm so glad they do. Love thy neighbor.

I'm a street volunteer distributing socks from Lake Charles to New Orleans. There is nothing to compare to the gratefulness of individuals experiencing being homeless when given the simple gift of a pair of socks. We meet homeless people where they are - "roughing it" on the streets, under bridges and overpasses, in abandoned vehicles which includes homeless veterans and homeless youth. Thank you for doing what you do. And a big "thank you" for all of the ziplock bags with sanitary products for homeless women. GOD bless Sock'n It!

Being an advocate for the homeless.. here in California...I often cook at home and drive to different locations,(streets,bridges, stores, to abandoned vehicles, etc,) and feed them. Along with their food. I also pass out socks. Wow, you would think they have struck gold!! They are so happy to recieve them. Men women and children!! So many of the adults have sores or blisters on their feet..an some feet are so swollen. The socks are extremely helpful to them. One little girl ask if can I give her grandmother a pair because she gave her only socks to her and her sister and could I please give her dad an extra pair...because he walks everyday to try to find work..and it's cold and his socks have so many holes. This kid was about 6yrs old. It brought me to tears. Another little girl was walking with her mom and when I handed the mom a plate of food...then the socks...the little girl..about 3yrs old...sat down right there on the the sidewalk...and immediately put the socks on. Thanks so much for Sock’n It! and their dedication too and usefulness. Sock’n It! really makes a differnce.

SOCK N IT has had an impact on me from the very start...prior to this
initial introduction, it never entered my mind that there are thousands
of homeless and other poor people who are SOCKLESS every day. For SOCK N IT to recognize this issue and step in by delivering new socks to the needy and to communities
hit by weather disasters (since Hurricane Katrina), has touched my heart...yes, I am a Sock N IT supporter that SOCK N IT can depend on.

As an educator, we appreciate the volunteer experiences Sock’n It! affords students. As a volunteer, delivering socks to women with children living in shelters was an amazing experience. To see the delight in someone’s eyes when given a pair of socks was truly heart warming. These are the people who truly need socks. I helped Sock’n It! bundle and tie hundreds of pairs of socks with a beautiful Christmas bow for women, children and men in shelters. I look forward to volunteering this year for the Christmas deliveries to shelters. GOD bless the mission of Sock’n It!

This is such a great non-profit organization. We partnered with this organization as one of our community service projects. I was a student volunteer and we collected socks in our town . It was a very humbling experience to learn about people who were less fortunate than I was. Likewise, it was empowering because I was able learn about this organization and see how my contribution made a difference. I was honored to be able to contribute to this organization and be able to give back to my community.

Just to let you know that Sock-It Nonprofit organization has been a blessing to many young children in the Houston and surrounding areas.
They have sent some to a mission's trip to Cuba, Mexico, New Mexico Indian Reservation. They were given to much needed situations. They have been a blessing and have come through each time when asked for the donations. I really appreciate how organized they are plus their helpfulness for fast service and again the children were happy. Their smiley faces is very rewarding.
We appreciate your hard work and considerate duty to the community. Thank you for pouring into the people
and acknowledging the necessary need there is. Socks something so insignificant but yet so important to many. We believe they are God sent. We thank all the people that have donated, the stores and all the individuals. Thank you very much for your donations and to make Sock-It Nonprofit organization a possibility to those who very much need this. God bless and thank you!
