Kids need support to help them succeed

Save Our County's Kids (SOCK) began as a grass-roots neighborhood initiative in 1997 after an eruption of gang violence alerted the Shelton community to the challenges facing their youth. SOCK, a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization, was formed with an aim to prevent youth violence, re-direct juvenile energy and provide alternatives to gang membership and involvement. For 15 years, from 1997-2012, SOCK provided evening recreational activities, structured after-school educational programs, free nutritious meals, transportation, mentoring, emergency help and employment opportunities to over 6,500 of Mason County's most at-risk youth.
