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.”

                 A unique opportunity to experience outstanding local arts
The Rockland Arts Festival has been built on the core values of community, inclusivity, and acceptance. These values are very important to the festival team and have been considered across all areas of the event. We are committed to providing safe and welcoming spaces and events where everyone can happily connect through the arts. We believe it is the shared responsibility of organizers, volunteers, artists, sponsors and patrons to help create an enriching and inclusive festival.

– The Rockland Arts Festival has a ‘zero tolerance’ policy towards incidents of intimidation, violence and physical or verbal harassment, related to gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, race, age or religion.

– The Rockland Arts Festival supports cultural change within the arts by promoting an ethic of care among artists and patrons, encouraging conversations and providing gender-equality and diversity within the festival program.

– The festival organizers strive to improve the festival experience by reaching out to diverse artistic groups and individuals, and we encourage people with disability or access needs to get in touch with our team prior to the festival so that they may participate or if we can assist when possible.

– The Rockland Arts Festival recognizes that we would not be able to enjoy the wealth of artistic talents without the creations of diverse communities and cultures. Along with our engagement with local artists, we aim to encourage people from all backgrounds to come together to share the festival’s free experiences.

ROCKLAND ARTS FESTIVAL will run from January 31 – February 9, 2025.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists (all mediums) age 18 and over and arts organizations in the United States.
