Socks for Cancer Made Local | Albany News

Sock Out Cancer, a nonprofit that’s been selling $10 socks for nearly a decade—with half the proceeds going to cancer patients and the other half to production—has brought its mission home to New York’s Seneca County. Powered by volunteers from Security Mutual Life Insurance, they’ve teamed up with Mozaic, a local nonprofit supporting people with disabilities, whose Finger Lakes Textiles division now sews their colorful socks locally. Customizing a machine for the vibrant designs, they’ve produced themed socks for cancer awareness months like teal for ovarian cancer and yellow for sarcoma. The funds go directly to hospitals distributing aid to patients, while Finger Lakes Textiles even got its own dedicated sock-making machine—a win-win that’s turned community effort into real impact.
