The Kraft family, New England Patriots Foundation and the New England Revolution are launching a new charitable initiative, "Socktober." Throughout the month of October, the Patriots and Revolution will be collecting new socks – the most sought-after item amongst people experiencing homelessness – and donating them to homeless shelters across New England.

Fans interested in supporting the cause can drop off socks in the following locations:

• Patriot Place management office
• The Patriots Hall of Fame presented by Raytheon
• The Patriots Pro Shop

 All donations must be received by Sunday, October 31st.
