Thank you so much for helping us help our veterans in need! It's great to see a company willing to take care of those in need.
Put on your comfiest Bombas because we’re taking a long walk down memory lane.
First stop: 2015, the year we created our donation socks. These socks were designed with darker colors, an anti-microbial treatment, and reinforced seams, so they could meet the specific needs of the homeless community. We knew these socks would help bring comfort to our neighbors in need. But we never could have imagined how many we would actually end up donating with your help.
When we first started donating socks, we’d hand them out ourselves in our neighborhood in NYC. But then, customers like you propelled our mission into a movement. In 2016, we donated one million pairs of socks, a number that seemed impossible. Then, we did it again. And again. We reached two million, three million, until eventually, we hit 25 million donations in 2019.
Now, it’s 2021—and we just donated our 50 millionth item.
That’s 50 million pairs of socks, underwear and t-shirts, given to those who don’t always have the luxury of putting on clean clothes.
While we’ve come a long way since we first started, we have no plans of slowing down. We’ll continue donating items, expanding our Giving Partner network, and creating moments of comfort. But for now, we’ll just say: thank you. This moment wouldn’t have been possible without you.
