Lively Socks is an apparel awareness company that sells socks through a buy one give one model. For every pair of socks we sell, we will donate to a homeless shelter.

Socks are one of the most requested items in homeless shelters. The lack of socks lead to many foot and health problems.

Our team is made up of San Francisco natives and community members who are passionate about providing resources to the underserved. The socks would serve as one stream of stable income to help fund nonprofits helping the homeless population in the bay area.

By sharing resources, we can unite those who want to help with those in need. Lively means to live happily and we believe that a small purchase can leave a bigger footprint.


Who We Are

Lively Socks is the first product idea I came up with for my pilot public service project, to register the homeless population for health insurance. Why socks?

  • Socks are awesome, they keep you warm!
  • As part of our Health for Homeless Campaign (PowerPoint & Video):
    • Socks are one of the most under-resourced donated items in homeless shelters despite homeless individuals running out of socks frequently.
    • The lack of socks lead to many foot and health problems.
    • For every sock we sell, we will donate one to a homeless shelter (Buy 1 Give 1)
  • Some long term goal – We plan to create the socks out of environmentally friendly material.
    • e.g. Repurposed clothing, Bamboo, or Kombucha waste

The logo shows two socks or two figures holding hands. Our message behind the idea of the design is to connect people and create meaningful relationships between diverse groups – because we all know, it socks to be alone.

Sincerely,

Hillary Liang
