OUR MISSION
KKGS is a non-for-profit organization dedicated to reducing the stigma of homelessness by bringing neighbors together and the distribution of donated goods which allow communities to meet and share with one another.
KKGS brings communities together in order to help those experiencing homelessness. Their motto is Help your neighbor, Meet your neighbor, Know your neighbor. In addition to providing needed resources by collecting socks, theyraise awareness about who the homeless are.They do this through a two-step process: 1) Engage a company/community in hosting a sock drive. 2) Offer a company the opportunity to host a ‘Meet Your Neighbors Dinner’
OUR VISION
KKGS envisions a world where individuals of all socio-economic backgrounds share, listen, and ultimately know their neighbor leading to stronger communities.
Who We Are:
KKGS is a charity that gathers communities together in order to help those experiencing homelessness. Our motto is 1) Help Your Neighbor 2) Meet Your Neighbor 3) Know your neighbor. In addition to collecting socks, we raise awareness about who the homeless are and provide both tangible and emotional support for those experiencing homelessness.
The way we operate is through hosting sock drives nationwide in schools, camps, communities, and companies. However what separates us from the typical drop-off boxes like Salvation Army, Goodwill etc. is that we allow our communities to become further engaged with our cause through the Meet Your Neighbors dinners, moving beyond the simple collection of socks into breaking stigmas while breaking bread.
In addition to providing socks and meals they provide warmth and dissipating the stigma around homelessness, KKGS feels passionate about engaging millennial young professionals around the cause. Since KKGS’s inception, we have engaged over 1,000 Young professionals around issues of homelessness and are paving the path for a brighter future.
