Oct. 1, 2024 – Compass One Healthcare has kicked off its annual “Socktober” campaign. Started in 2020, this yearly voluntary campaign across Compass One’s branded sectors – Morrison Healthcare, Crothall Healthcare, CCL Hospitality Group, and TouchPoint Support Services – invites teams from hospital and health systems and senior living communities across the country to collect socks for donation to local charities.
Socks are one of the most requested donation items in shelters. Many unsheltered people rarely take their shoes off and do not have access to laundry facilities, making socks the top-requested item at homeless shelters.
“As we kick off this year’s campaign, I am reminded of the profound impact we can make when we all come together. Over the past three years, our collective efforts have provided more than 500,000 pairs of socks to those in need, and this year, we aim to do even more,” said Bobby Kutteh, CEO of Compass One Healthcare. “Socks may seem small, but they are one of the most needed and least donated in shelters. Through our caring people and our partnerships, we have the power to make a meaningful difference in the lives of thousands.”
