Socktober

Socktober 2026

At Guaranty Bank, we believe that being rooted in our communities means more than just banking, it means stepping up to meet real needs in meaningful ways. This October, our branches are proud to participate in Socktober, a nationwide movement with a simple but powerful mission: collect socks and undergarments for neighbors in need.

What Is Socktober?

Socktober began as a grassroots campaign to raise awareness for those experiencing homelessness and poverty. Shelters and local aid organizations consistently list new socks and undergarments as their top requested items, yet they're often overlooked in donation drives. By participating in Socktober, communities across the country are making sure those essential items reach the people who need them most.

Why It Matters

It may seem small, but a new pair of socks or undergarments can make a meaningful difference in someone's daily life. From comfort and warmth to restoring dignity, these items help meet basic human needs.

By joining Socktober, Guaranty Bank's participating branches are strengthening ties to their local communities by partnering with local organizations. Each branch that takes part has selected a community partner to receive and distribute donations, ensuring that your contributions stay close to home and directly benefit neighbors in need.

How to Get Involved

If your local Guaranty Bank branch is participating, you'll find a Socktober collection box in the lobby throughout the month of October. Simply drop off new socks and undergarments in any size (children, women, or men).

Not every branch is participating this year, but those that are will proudly display information about their chosen community partner and how the donations will be used.

Together, We Can Make a Difference
