When Randy Goldberg and David Heath learned that socks were the most requested clothing item in homeless shelters back in 2011, they knew they could help. Two years later, when the duo officially launched their clothing company, Bombas, they did so with a goal: for each pair of socks that the company sold, a pair would be donated to people experiencing homelessness across the U.S. The brand has even expanded that campaign to also include T-shirts in 2019 and underwear in early 2021.
