The Agnesian HealthCare Foundation has received 6,000 pairs of Bombas socks to share with individuals served by the SSM Health Samaritan Clinic, Adult Day Services, hospice and cancer care services, behavioral health, emergency rooms, and long-term care facilities.  Bombas is a comfort-focused, basics apparel brand with a mission to help those in need. The company was originally founded in 2013 because socks are the #1 most requested clothing item at homeless shelters. Underwear and T-shirts are #2 and #3 respectively.
While the brand started with and is known for its extremely comfortable socks, Bombas used its expertise in comfort to launch into apparel with T-shirts in 2019 and most recently, underwear in 2021. For every item purchased, a specially designed item is donated to someone at risk of or currently experiencing homelessness. To date, Bombas has donated over 100 million items.   “Socks are always in demand,” according to Kim Laws, Agnesian HealthCare Foundation director of development and interim leader. “These are high quality socks that will provide warmth as the weather changes. We are so grateful for our partnership with Bombas, and our patients and community are so very grateful as well.”   This is the second year that the Agnesian HealthCare Foundation has received a sock donation.   The Agnesian HealthCare Foundation accepts donations to help area individuals and families during personal struggles, as well as helping to expand local programs and services.  To donate, visit givetossmhealth.org/fdl.
