Things of My Very Own

A 501(c)3 Non-Profit Organization that helps children in crisis.

Today is the first day of Socktober and we could not be more excited! Starting today, we are challenging individuals, businesses, schools, and groups to collect as many new pairs of socks as possible to help children in crisis in our community.

All you have to do is grab a box, decorate it however you please, and let everyone know you are striving to be our next Socktober Champion! If you aren’t competitive, that is okay too. You can still donate new socks to help children in our area.

To register for the competition, please send your name, telephone number, address, and business or group name (if applicable) to [email protected]. If you are willing to be a public drop-off spot, we’ll help you promote your drop-off location.

Donations of new socks are due back to the crisis intervention center by Saturday, November 2nd, at noon. Once each team's contributions have been verified, we’ll announce the 2024 Socktober Champion!

Here is a list of our current drop off locations.

NISKAYUNA
- Niskayuna Town Hall, 1 Niskayuna Circle, #2

SCHENECTADY
- Ultimate Roofing, 207 E. Campbell Road

SCOTIA
- Marshall & Sterling Upstate, 25 Mohawk Ave

If you do not have time to shop, that is okay! You can make a donation on our website at thingsofmyveryown.org/donate/

I purchased many pairs of socks. Are there schools in Rotterdam/Schenectady area that are collecting socks for you? If so, I will bring them to the school.
