SockStarz United is a teen-led movement dedicated to providing comfort, warmth, and protection to people experiencing homelessness—one pair of socks at a time. What started as a simple act of service has grown into a mission to donate 10,000 pairs of socks and raise awareness about the critical need for foot health in underserved communities.

10,000 pairs of socks
Goal:
why socks
Skipping just one cup of coffee or one takeout meal can help keep 10 people warm and protected. With only $5, you can provide 10 pairs of socks to those who need them most. A small act of kindness can have a huge impact on someone’s health and well-being. When we come together as a community, we can turn everyday sacrifices into life-changing support for people in need. Because no sole should be left behind.
Socks are one of the most requested items in homeless shelters, yet they are also one of the least donated. Socks can’t be easily repurposed, leaving many individuals without this essential item. Without clean, dry socks, people experiencing homelessness are at risk for infections, frostbite, and long-term foot problems. By donating a simple pair of socks, we're providing more than warmth—we're offering comfort, protection, and dignity.
