It’s SOCKTOBER! Donate socks to local organization BRC at Friday’s event!

SHOCKtober meets SOCKtober! So many puns! Next Friday, October 16th, we’ll be hearing from Jake Barton (of Local Projects) for this month’s global theme of shock. 

A few CreativeMornings chapters around the world are also participating in a socktober drive to collect socks for local homeless shelters. Here in NYC, we’re supporting the Bowery Residents’ Committee (BRC). Help them by donating some socks! They need to be unused and BRC is sorely lacking men’s socks (though they’ll certainly accept women’s socks too!). They’re not currently in need of socks for children. 

A bit about BRC: Founded in 1971 by lodgers of Bowery flophouses who wanted to improve their lives, BRC is today a leading provider of housing and services to well over ten thousand of New York City’s neediest individuals. Offering a hand up, not a hand out, BRC asks: What can we do for you? BRC sees the potential in each person it serves and provides each the opportunity to find it through a robust continuum of housing and nonresidential programs offering health, mental health, treatment for addictions, vocational services, elder services, and supportive communities in which to live. Today BRC operates a continuum of 27 programs throughout New York.

Thanks and we’ll see you in the morning!

PS: We know Monday 10/12 is a holiday but tickets will still be released at 11am! Set those alarms!

PPS: Fun fact. #socktober was created by Kid President & Brad Montague, who spoke at CreativeMornings/Nashville!
