This October, we’re teaming up with West Florida Foster Care Services to help provide everyday essentials for children in care.

We’re collecting:
🧦 New socks
👕 New underwear
🧒 Sizes 2T and up
🎁 $10–$25 gift cards

These may seem like small things—but for a child entering care with very little, having brand-new essentials of their own matters.

BONUS: Bring in a qualifying donation and R.I. Automotive will give you a FREE OIL CHANGE COUPON as our thank-you!*

📅 Collecting October 1–31
📍 Drop donations off at R.I. Automotive

Complimentary oil change is for a future scheduled service and is available by appointment only.

Bring the Kids 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦
Parents—we have a Socktober challenge for your kids. 🧦

Next time you're shopping together, give them a simple mission:

“Pick out a package of socks or underwear for another kid.”
Let them choose the size.
Let them put it in the cart.

Then bring them with you to R.I. Automotive to put it in our Socktober collection.

Giving doesn't have to be complicated.
Sometimes it's just teaching the next generation to notice when someone else needs a hand. ❤️

We're collecting new socks and underwear in sizes 2T+, plus $5–$25 gift cards, throughout October for West Florida Foster Care Services.

Bring the kids. Bring a donation. Help us fill the box.

Why Gift Cards? 🎁
“Why are you collecting $5–$25 gift cards?”

Great question!

West Florida Foster Care Services told us these small gift cards can be used throughout the year to encourage kids who are struggling and support families during stressful situations.

Think about that.

A small gift card sitting in your wallet could become a little encouragement for someone having a very difficult day.

During Socktober, we're collecting:
🧦 New socks
👕 New underwear
🎁 $5–$25 gift cards

All month long at R.I. Automotive.

This October, let's show our foster-care community that there are a whole lot of people standing behind them. ❤️

10/09/2026

Hispanics have been helping build America's cars for more than 100 years.
And somebody's tío has been saying “I can fix that!”
for approximately the same amount of time. 😂

The $10 Challenge 💵

We have a challenge for you.
It's called the $10 SOCKTOBER CHALLENGE. 🧦

Next time you're at the store, spend approximately $10 on new children's socks or underwear.

Then:
1. Bring it to R.I. Automotive.
2. Challenge a friend, coworker, or family member to do the same.
3. Share this post.

Community/Business Challenge 🏆

ATTENTION LOCAL BUSINESSES: We're calling you out. 😎🧦

R.I. Automotive is participating in Socktober for West Florida Foster Care Services—and we think some friendly competition could do a lot of good.

Here's the challenge:
Pick a box.
Put it in your lobby, break room, office, church, school, or business.

Ask your team and customers to fill it with new socks and underwear, sizes 2T+, or $5–$25 gift cards.
Then bring your collection to us.

We're challenging our fellow Tampa Bay businesses to see just how much our local business community can accomplish together.

Tag a local business that should join the challenge. 👇
And businesses—if you're IN, comment “WE'RE IN 🧦” so we can recognize you.

Let's make this bigger than R.I. Automotive.
