'Socktober' celebrates 15 years of local kindness

So: Socktober started back in 2011 thanks to some middle school kids who wanted to help people experiencing homelessness. They found out socks were one of the most needed but least donated items at local shelters, especially as colder weather approached. What began as a small collection drive quickly grew into a nationwide movement with schools, businesses, and even big names joining in.

I love how it shows the power of community and kindness over the years!
