Project Synopsis: Challenge/Opportunity
We are aiming to enhance community engagement and increase awareness around homelessness by collaborating with Knock Knock Give a Sock. The project seeks to bridge the gap between individuals experiencing homelessness and the broader community through tangible acts of kindness and educational outreach. 
Project Synopsis: Activities/Actions Required
  1. Coordinate sock donation drives across FSU's campus.
  2. Organize educational workshops and speaker events to raise awareness about homelessness.
  3. Partner with local shelters and nonprofit organizations for volunteer opportunities.
  4. Launch a marketing campaign, including social media and on-campus promotions, to encourage student participation.
  5. Collect feedback from participants to assess impact and areas for improvement. 
Project Synopsis: Expected Results
  • Success will be measured by the number of socks collected and distributed, 
  • The level of student participation in events, and 
  • The reach of our educational campaigns. Specifically, we aim to collect over 5,000 pairs of socks, engage at least 500 students through events and workshops, and achieve a social media reach of 10,000 impressions across platforms. Long-term, success also includes building sustained partnerships between FSU and organizations addressing homelessness.
