IIVA 2nd Annual SOCK ON Sock Drive
Benefitting Indiana’s Homeless Community
Donations Accepted: December 30, 2021 - February 18, 2022
Indiana’s live music venues have been fighting for their businesses, and live music in general, since the start of the pandemic. Thankfully, music venues have been fortunate to receive much needed support in the form of city, state and federal grants and loans. This has been a lifeline to help prop up our small businesses. IIVA and its members understand firsthand the importance of appreciating even the smallest act of kindness. With winter here, and so many residents in need, the music venues of Indiana are eager to give back and help our residents experiencing hard times. Lend a hand and show your support with something often taken for granted - a new pair of warm socks.
Indianapolis sock donations distributed by Horizon House, St. Vincent De Paul in Brown County, and yet-to-be named organization in Bloomington. Donations will directly support the communities in which they are collected.
