Big 95.7 once again spending October helping out people in need right here in the Tri-Cities. This is our fourth year doing Sock-Tober!
Over the last three years we have provided over 1,500 pairs of socks — as well as many other donations of hats, gloves, and shoes — to Tri-Cities Union Gospel Mission in Pasco. TCUGM provides shelter for men, women, and families, and TCUGM distributes the donations it receives to people who are truly in need, whether it’s clothing or food. And, believe it or not, the most requested item in the mission is socks!
Can you imagine having one pair of socks, and having to wear them every day? With this year’s winter expected to have colder than usual weather, Big 95.7 and our audience are making sure the homeless don’t have to, and our goal is to double our three-year total of socks donated this month! Help us donate 1,500 pairs of socks this October!
Bring your donation of brand-new, unopened socks to:
- The Big 95.7 studio (4304 West 24th Avenue in Kennewick) during regular office hours
- Griggs Department Store (801 West Columbia Street in Pasco)
- Some Bagels (1317 George Washington Way in Richland & 801 S. Washington Street in Kennewick)
- More dropoff locations to be announced
There’s a special treat in it for you too! We welcome our new friends at Idaho Central Credit Union to the Tri-Cities, and thank them for joining in! When you bring your Sock-tober donation to any dropoff location, scan the QR code on the donation bin and sign up to win a $500 prize package from ICCU and Big 95.7! The QR code is only found on the donation bins.
Thank you for helping us help Tri-City Union Gospel Mission!
