A fresh pair of socks may seem like a small thing. But for someone experiencing homelessness, it can provide much-needed comfort and relief. That’s why we’re so grateful to Bombas for donating more than 1,000 pairs of socks to help support our guests at St. Francis House. 💙

Socks help protect foot health, reduce the risk of injury and infection, provide comfort during long days on foot, and restore a sense of dignity that everyone deserves.

Thank you, Bombas, for helping us meet one of our community’s most essential needs and for making a meaningful difference — one pair of socks at a time. 🧦

🍽️ The Ride & Stride for Food, hosted by Three Squares New England, is more than a fundraiser. It's a movement to help ensure our neighbors have reliable access to nutritious meals. So why are we riding?

For Kati Sigel, our Director of Corporate & Foundation Relations, the answer is simple:

"I'm riding to support the meal program at St. Francis House because it's hard to tackle life's challenges when you're hungry. Together, we can help fill plates—and bellies."

Every day, St. Francis House serves nearly 500 guests, providing nutritious meals that offer not only nourishment, but stability, dignity, and hope. When you join or support Team SFH in this year's Ride & Stride for Food, you're helping ensure that every guest who walks through our doors has access to a warm meal when they need it most.
