Across the US, socks remain the no. 1 most requested clothing item at homeless shelters. When Dave Heath and Randy Goldberg discovered this need in the homeless community, they decided to solve the problem head on. Bombas launched in 2013 with a mission to change the way people think about socks. Not only are socks a critical item of clothing that needs to be at its comfiest, but they can be a way for all of us to make people in  homeless, in-need and at-risk communities feel seen. When Kelly Cobb joined the company in 2016, she had the opportunity to define her role as VP of Community and Giving. Beyond the brand’s “buy one, give one” model, Bombas works closely with thousands of giving partners to engineer clothing that specifically meets the needs of people who don't have the luxury of putting on clean clothes every day. Kelly and her team leads their Community Program, which enables like-minded community members to volunteer and support the brand's dedication to helping the homeless, and better understand the root issues of homelessness. Today, Bombas has donated over 26 million high quality, specially-designed clothing items (socks and shirts) to those in need.
