Processing Request
More than 3,800 pairs of new, unused socks were donated through the Livingston Parish Library as part of the 20th Annual Sock It To Me! Holiday Sock Drive.
Held every year during the holiday season, the Sock It to Me! Holiday Sock Drive takes place in the Greater Baton Rouge area, covering East Baton Rouge, Livingston, Ascension, Pointe Coupee, Iberville, and West Baton Rouge parishes.
The sock drive is organized by Baton Rouge Parents Magazine.
This year, the Livingston Parish community donated approximately 3,818 pairs of socks across the Livingston Parish Library’s five branches. This is the most the system has ever collected, surpassing the previous record by nearly 800 pairs.
To ensure donations remain in the Livingston Parish community, all socks collected by the Livingston Parish Library will be donated to The Family Village, a non-profit organization that serves children in Livingston Parish.
