The new Bombas Giving Directory is an interactive platform that helps connect regular people to the brand's 1,700+ Giving Partners across the US. The brand has always been built on the notion of giving back -- having already launched its buy one, give one business model -- and this new initiative the brand hopes to help people personally connect and support various organizations in their city. Some of the organizations included in the Bombas Giving Directory are homeless shelters, nonprofits and organizations dedicated to helping all of those who are in need.
Unlike the socks Bombas sells to consumers, the ones distributed to its Giving Partners are specially designed to meet the needs of the people who need them. These socks feature reinforced seams, an antimicrobial treatment and are darker in color.
