1、Two years ago, six-year-old Jaxson Lewis was deep in thought about Christmas when his parents suggested he might do something nice for others. They began researching together, and Jaxson came across Socktober, a new donation event in which his favorite YouTube influencer, Kid President, was participating.
Socktober was founded by Brad Montague in 2011. He realized that there was a large homeless population in his area who were in great need of socks, and in fact, socks are often the least donated items to homeless shelters. He then started his first donation drive, collecting socks to distribute locally throughout October. Since its birth, Socktober has grown dramatically; last year, participants from all seven continents donated socks.
Inspired by the idea of giving back during the holiday season, Jaxson decided to start his own Socktober in Midland. His first year, in 2017, was a success, with the family collecting 1,428 pairs of socks that were handed out to local shelters.
In 2018, the Lewis family set a higher goal. Bombas, a popular community-minded sock company that donates one pair of socks to homeless shelters for every pair bought, agreed to match Jaxson's donated sock amount. If he could collect 2,000 pairs of brand-new socks, Bombas would match them with another 2,000 pairs. With the help of local partners, Jaxson reached the matching goal. With the socks sent by Bombas, he collected a total of 5,683 pairs.
When asked what the most challenging part of the Socktober project has been each year, Jaxson said that it was "The math. It was a lot of work adding everything up because we got so many." When asked what his favorite part of Socktober was, "Collecting all of the socks, and putting them in a big pile and swimming in it!" says Jaxson. The socks were donated to organizations like shelters, local schools with "caring closets" serve as pantries for students in need, and other related groups.
