Warming Hearts & Feet Alike

 

Cville Sock Love was established to provide fun, uplifting socks to hospitalized children. We expanded this mission in 2020 to serve the under-resourced, as well.

 
 

Why Socks?

Socks are a basic need that we all share. Plain or patterned, socks protect our feet and keep us warm. Too often, we take a fresh pair for granted. For the unsheltered, a clean pair is a sought-after item.

For families of hospitalized kids, socks and slippers are easily-forgotten items. They’re needed for trips to the bathroom and walks in chilly hallways. When it comes to socks for ailing kids, the more fun the designs, the better!
