Help the Livingston Parish Library spread kindness and warmth this holiday season, one cozy pair of socks at a time!
The Livingston Parish Library is participating in the 21st Annual Sock It To Me! Holiday Sock Drive, organized by Family Resource Group Foundation. Held every year during the holiday season, the Sock It to Me! Holiday Sock Drive takes place in the Greater Baton Rouge area and allows people to drop off new, unused socks at participating businesses, libraries, schools, churches, or childcare centers.
Socks are the most requested items at homeless shelters, according to Family Resource Group Foundation.
This year’s sock drive runs from November 1 through December 12. The 2025 goal for the entire sock drive is to collect 51,000 pairs of socks.
LPL donations going toward The Family Village
Socks collected by the Livingston Parish Library will be donated to The Family Village, a Livingston Parish-based non-profit organization. Founded in 2018, The Family Village provides necessities to children who have been separated from their homes in a traumatic event. The items are provided free of charge to children of all ages, ranging from newborns to teenagers and young adults.
