The Warm City Story...

Socks are the most requested items by Boston shelters, yet they are the least donated item. During one particularly cold winter morning in Boston, I was putting on wool socks and it made me realize how so many of us take warm feet for granted; especially during the cold winter months in Massachusetts. That's when I decided to start Warm the City, a Boston Sock Drive.

We provide a simple way for you to select a shelter in need, click to an Amazon wish list and ship socks directly to the shelter of your choice.

We have an Instagram, Facebook and Twitter setup as a place where people can bring awareness to the cause. Please share with your friends and family and let's help defeat cold feet and help warm those in need.

Why Socks...

  • Socks are the most requested items by Boston shelters, yet they are the least donated item.

  • Many homeless people walk several miles every day to access food, shelter and essentials.

  • Accessing help is easier when your feet are healthy and free of blisters, infections and bacteria.
