Los Alamos New Mexico now has an official drop off site for The Sock-it-to-Em Sock Campaign! Walking it out one warm dry foot at a time!
This campaign was launched in 2011 by Sue Lee, CEO of EQ Media and creator of “I Believe in Me!” When the entrepreneur recognized how many Americans face the harsh winter cold and dampness with inadequate protection for their feet, she asked her friend Phillis Shimamoto to join her in 2012 to form Sock-it-to-Em and began soliciting fellow small business owners, churches, businesses and the local media to pitch in.
The Sock-it-to-‘em Sock Campaign aims to cover the feet of as many of those in need as possible before each new year. Their motto is, “We’re taking socks to the streets!” Anyone in any location can participate by donating socks, becoming a Sock Ambassador or just sharing information about The Sock It To Em Sock Campaign on social media or through email.
Between Thanksgiving to end of December 2012 the campaign gathered over 10,000 pairs of socks for the homeless in the Greater Denver Metro area and hundreds in small pockets across the USA. In 2013 they gathered another 10,000 pairs locally, thousands from what we call “Sock Ambassadors” across the country and now we are energized to be even more connected and DO MORE!
Los Alamos Drop Sock Drop Off Site is located at:
1475 Central Avenue Suite 210B,
Los Alamos, New Mexico 87544 (On the second floor of The Community Bank Building)
