“I don’t think that I could be the person I am now or even the mother that I am if it had not been for [Sox Place] showing me what love is and that I do deserved to be loved. To me, Sox Place is family, love, home, safety, security, and sobriety.”
20 Years of Service
Sox Place was started in 2002 by father-son team, Doyle and Jordan Robinson. Doyle began his mission by handing out socks to street youth on the 16th Street Mall in downtown Denver. He was soon given the street name “Sox” and opened up a daytime youth drop-in center shortly after. We have been open for twenty years and continue to grow every year. We are only able to continue to serve our youth and to keep our doors open with the help of individuals like you. If you are interested in making a tax-deductible donation, click here.
We serve street youth and young adults who range in age from 1-year-olds to those who are in their mid-30s. Many have been abandoned by parents and guardians, some are victims of the foster care system, and most have been tossed aside by society. Addictions to drugs, alcohol, violence, and sex are a part of their everyday lives. Most are just trying to survive!
WE PROVIDE
- hot meals daily
- clothing and socks
- blankets
- personal hygiene
- computer/internet access
…and acceptance along with unconditional love and a safe environment. There are activities such as movies, video games, and pool for their enjoyment while at Sox Place. Staff and volunteers spend their time building friendships in order to provide healthy and constructive relationships.
