Volunteers Help Make Socktober Campaign a Shining Success

Our team of Socktober volunteers were the true heroes of Foster Love’s campaign this year. Without them, we would not have been able to distribute over 57,500 pairs of Bombas socks to children in foster care across the nation. Thank you to the FC Premier Soccer team for ensuring these socks, along with essential garments like t-shirts and underwear, reached children who needed them most.

Thanks to the hard work and dedication of these volunteers, every box—containing 200 pairs of socks, 30 t-shirts, and 30 pairs of underwear—was packed and shipped on schedule. The event was a huge success! These items are more than just clothing; they are a source of comfort and dignity for children who often lack access to brand-new essentials. It’s always amazing to see how small acts of kindness can ripple out and have a lasting impact on so many lives.

How These Socktober Volunteers Made a Difference

Socktober is about more than just socks. At Foster Love, it’s a movement that underscores the importance of meeting basic needs for children in foster care, providing them with warmth, comfort, and a sense of being cared for. The dedication of Socktober volunteers like the FC Premier Soccer team ensures the success of this campaign year after year.

For many children in foster care, receiving new socks is a rare and uplifting experience. Socks play an essential role in promoting foot health, preventing blisters, and keeping children warm—particularly during colder months. More importantly, they provide a sense of normalcy and self-worth, a reminder that someone out there cares deeply about their well-being.

Teamwork Definitely Makes the Dream Work

The FC Premier Soccer team brought their A-game to the packing station, working together efficiently to sort and pack thousands of socks. With ten groups total, the daunting task of preparing 57,500 pairs of socks for delivery became an achievable and rewarding goal. The volunteers transformed what could have been a logistical challenge into a celebration of giving and community spirit. Their collaboration demonstrated the power of teamwork in tackling large-scale initiatives like Socktober at Foster Love HQ.

A Huge THANK YOU to Our Socktober Volunteers

Foster Love could not have achieved such a monumental feat without the generosity and hard work of the Socktober volunteers from the FC Premier Soccer team. Their efforts ensure that foster care agencies in states like California, Texas, and Florida receive the supplies they need to provide children with essentials that foster comfort and confidence.

As we wrap up another successful Socktober, we extend our heartfelt thanks to the FC Premier Soccer team and all the volunteers who made it possible. You’ve helped bring warmth and joy to children in foster care, reminding them that they are seen, valued, and loved. Your efforts made a lasting difference that will no doubt inspire others to make a difference as well. 

Together, we made a difference—one pair of socks at a time.
