IT’S TIME FOR

SOCKTOBER!

During the month of October, The Vineyard Church and other community partners are collecting new socks (adult + children’s!) to provide for our local friends who are without a home.

This small act of kindness can make a big difference as we approach the colder months of the year. Our goal is to gather 15,000 pairs of socks for these local organizations:

  • C-U at Home

  • Oasis Center

  • Crisis Nursery

  • CU Schools Foundation

  • Cunningham Children’s Home

  • Strides Homeless Shelter

You can drop off socks at several locations throughout Champaign, Urbana, Savoy and Decatur. Find a location near you below! Or, you can order directly from the Amazon Wishlist → and have the sock delivered straight to the Vineyard Church.

So why SOCKTOBER? Because every night in the United States an estimated 600,000 people live on the streets and need simple things, like socks, to help get them through the night. Plus the number one needed clothing item for those in need is new socks, but people very rarely ever donate new socks to the homeless!
