What is SOCKTember?

It’s simple really. Most local community services NEED socks. It is one of the highest demand items for people in need of all ages. SOCKTember was started with the idea of picking up an extra pack of new socks whenever team members go to the store. If teams of contractors, customers, and community members did this we could raise a lot of new socks for local agencies.

  • During the month of September, local teams get together to raise as many new pairs of socks as they can.
  • In October, we count them up and teams donate to local charities of their choice.
  • All year long, the winners get to brag about beating their peers
  • All year long, participating teams get to share about the good work they have done in their local communities
