Bombas socks donates 2,745 pairs to Carson City's Ron Wood center to give to those in need
For the second year, the Ron Wood Family Resource Center in Carson City has received a generous donation of more than 2,700 pair of Bombas socks to give to those in need around the community.
For every pair of Bombas socks sold, Bombas donates a pair to non-profit agencies to help the homeless and families in need. Ron Wood Family Resource Center has received 2,745 socks from the Bombas corporation, said Director Joyce Buckingham. Last year the company donated 1,000 pairs of socks.
The Ron Wood center will, in turn, provide those socks to individuals and families in need. Ron Wood distributes socks at the homeless Point in Time count, during our mobile food pantry deliveries and provides them to the Night Off The Street Warming Shelter in Carson City, which opens Nov. 15.
If you have a need or are working with families that could use these quality socks, contact Joyce at Ron Wood Family Resource Center, (775) 884-2269.
"We want the community to come in for food, resources, housing and utility assistance as well any need during these trying times," said Buckingham.

Headquartered in New York City, Bombas was founded in 2013 by Randy Goldberg and David Heath. The two launched the company after seeing a Facebook post that mentioned the need for socks at homeless shelters. They adopted the one-for-one business model where the company would donate one pair of socks for each one purchased.
The mission of the Ron Wood Family Resource Center is to create a lasting community-wide cooperative effort between the private sector and governmental agencies to promote healthy family relationships through education and support services. The center currently offer several services that range from basic needs assistance to parenting classes and after school programs.
