“BUILD WITH BLUE COATS!” What does 5,000 pairs of socks look like? The photo here gives some idea! Twenty (20) boxes of 250 pairs of socks each! Youngstown Blue Coats has been blessed by a donation of 5,000 pairs of socks from Bombas®. Bombas® is a company, founded in 2013, and from its founding has had the mission that for every pair of socks purchased, a pair of socks is donated to a homeless shelter or homelessness-related charity. Again, Blue Coats has been blessed by Bombas®. In fact, Bombas® recently announced that they have been able to donate 100 million clothing items to the people who are at risk of or currently experiencing homelessness in their communities. They know well that socks are the number one item needed by those experiencing homelessness and living in shelters. In the photo here, the socks have been delivered to Blue Coats’ new facility (the RTW building, 2654 North Main, Hubbard) and illustrate the space inside that facility! Blue Coats now has 12,000 square feet of inside space, much-needed space as we grow and continue to serve increasing numbers of homeless veterans, other homeless individuals and work with our partners (more than 52 agencies, shelters, and organizations) to serve those in need. And, importantly, YOU can help us continue to grow and thrive and support this move and our new facility. “BUILD WITH BLUE COATS!”  YOU can donate on our website: www.ytownbluecoats.org. Of course, you can also donate, cash (including checks) and/or non-cash items in other ways; see our Facebook page or website for details. And, thank YOU for your ongoing and generous support! Your support and donations make a profound, powerful and positive difference in the lives of others!
