Product Campaign
"Socks are the single most requested item by homeless shelters. They are also one of the least donated items. We’ve collected and distributed over five million pairs of socks since we began this campaign in 2016—but we’re not done yet. We’re asking for your help and support as we continue our mission to deliver brand new product to people in need."
-Merrie Keller, Director of Product Procurement, Delivering Good
Challenge Accepted!
In 2016, Isaac Ash, Founder and President of United Legwear and Apparel Co., challenged his colleagues to donate one million pairs of socks to help the homeless. What started as a friendly challenge has turned into an initiative that provides a sense of hope and comfort to the hundreds of thousands of people across the US who are living with homelessness, poverty, and other challenges.
Over 12 Million Pairs of Socks (And Counting) Since 2016!
Why focus on socks? Socks are the most requested and least donated item in shelters throughout the United States. Without clean socks, people living in shelters or on the streets are more susceptible to skin infections and disease, causing chronic illness and extreme discomfort. Delivering Good has teamed up with brands in the fashion industry to combat this crucial issue in the lives of millions of Americans.
Though socks might seem like a minor detail in everyday life for many of us, having a clean pair of socks can truly change the life of a homeless person, some of whom walk several miles per day. Socks often act as socks, shoes, and gloves for the homeless.
Thank you!
The campaign that started as a challenge to collect one million pairs of socks has, to date, inspired the donation of more than 12 million new pairs of socks for families and individuals in need.
