Kid President : Hello people of the world!
My name is Kid President and I'm on a mission to make the world more awesome.
My decorations I worked so hard!!
Does the world seem a little bit brighter today?
Did you hear birds chirping a little bit louder?
Did someone throw socks at your head?
LADIES AND GENTLEMAN its that time again,
SOCKTOBER!!!!!!!!!!
OH YEAH!!!
But Kid President...why Socktober?!
Good question!
Because it’s awesome, next question.
But why are you doing Socktober?
Oh! Even better question!
Socktober was started 5 years ago for my brother Brad.
He found out that there were some people
in our neighborhood that were homeless. He found out that homeless shelters were in need
for setting up for the winter. Just so they could stay warm and stuff.
Every year its grown and grown. Its been awesome!
The first year a few hundred people did it in Tennessee.
The next year a few more hundred people did it.
The third year a thousands of people did it.
Last year, MILLIONS of people did it! Even Grover from Sesame Street helped out.
Grover: It is Socktober!
Kid President: Awesome spreads man!
So, you may be asking, how do I Socktober?
Number 1, start a sock drive.
Number 2, get your friends involved.
Number 3, SPREAD THE WORD!
Number 4, Donate those socks!
We’re talking new socks !
You can also gather other basic essentials
just find out what your local shelter needs.
Need help finding a shelter near you?

This is an awesome way to do something cool with your friends.

and STAY tuned because we are going to be sharing your stories.
This yeah we want to see 3 million people take part of Socktober.
That seems crazy but we can do it I KNOW!
I want to see 3 million people prove
that the smallest act of love,
even the smallest, like donating a pair of socks,
that can make a big difference!
There's almost 600,000 people who live on the streets
and some of them are kids.
THAT IS NOT OKAY!
TESTIFY! SOCKTOB…. Uh uh
