Catholic Charities Community Services of Rockland Receives Generous Donation of 7,760 Pairs of Socks

Published

on

Catholic Charities Community Services of Rockland (CCCSR) is delighted to announce the generous donation of 7,760 pairs of socks from local community member, Jay Cohen. The socks will be distributed to individuals and families in need across Rockland, Dutchess, Orange, Sullivan, Ulster, and the New York City boroughs of Manhattan, Queens, and the Bronx.
The initial sock drive in 2023 was part of a charitable effort by a local networking organization which regularly supports various nonprofits across the area. This year, Jay Cohen of Advanced Security Consulting LLC continued the tradition on his own, raising $4,400 to purchase socks at cost or below, thanks to the support of generous partners. Ocean State Job Lot in New City played a special role in helping Cohen reach his goal by offering a 30% discount off their already low prices, allowing him to buy a thousand pairs of socks and clear their shelves.
Cohen’s donation aims to help those in need stay warm and comfortable as the colder months
approach. For people experiencing homelessness or struggling with financial hardship, having a new, clean pair of socks is a small yet meaningful gesture that can make a big difference. “The chance to help our neighbors in need, especially as the colder season approaches, is something I couldn’t pass up,” said Jay Cohen. “Socks are one of the most needed yet under-donated items, and I’m so glad that we could make a difference through this drive. A huge thank you to everyone who supported this effort—it’s a testament to what our community can accomplish together.”
