Sock for People Experiencing Homelessness - 2025

Thousands of Socks: Bringing Warmth, Comfort, and Dignity

This fall, our community came together for a truly inspiring cause: providing socks to people experiencing homelessness. What started as a simple idea turned into an overwhelming outpouring of generosity—thousands of socks were collected, sorted, and prepared for distribution.

Socks might seem like a small item, but for those living on the streets, they are essential. They protect from the cold, prevent infections, and—most importantly—offer a simple measure of dignity. Every pair donated represents someone in our city feeling cared for and seen.

Thanks to the incredible support of volunteers, donors, and friends who helped spread the word, we didn’t just collect and package socks—we delivered them. Thousands were handed out directly to individuals experiencing homelessness. Meeting people face-to-face, offering a warm pair of socks and a moment of human connection, made the impact of Taking Water even more real and profound.

From donating, collecting, sorting, packaging, and personally delivering the socks, witnessing the ripple effect of Taking Water throughout our community has been truly inspiring and heartwarming.

This event reminds us that small actions, multiplied across a caring community, can create real, tangible change. Thank you to everyone who participated—your generosity has made a lasting difference in the lives of many.

Together, we proved that compassion through Taking Water can move mountains—or at least thousands of socks!
