UVA Team members with their sock donations
Stepping up to meet our 10-year strategic plan goal of cultivating healthy communities and belonging for all — UVA Health launches its annual Socktober initiative on Oct. 1, 2025. This year’s goal: collecting 20,000 new pairs for unhoused individuals
Team members can drop off new pairs of socks in Socktober bins through Nov. 3 at:
- University Medical Center Cafeteria
- Wahoo West Café
- OR Cafe Lounge
- Food and Nutrition Services (“O” level, Main Hospital)
- Emily Couric Clinical Cancer Center
- Good Grain Cafe, Orthopedic Center at Ivy Road
- Cafe at 500 Fontaine
Two other ways to participate: the traditional department contest or the new Fill the Bin challenge. Read more about both on Connect.
