If you’re looking for a feel-good story about capturing the real spirit of the holidays, allow me to introduce you to this great brand Hippy Feet. Not only does this company give socks to homeless youth, but also provides employment opportunities to these young men and women so they can get back on their feet.
You know that awesome feeling of slipping on a new pair of comfy, cozy socks? And how good you feel when your feet are happy? Well, consider that feeling 2 times over! Every time you purchase a pair of Hippy Feet socks, a homeless person gets to enjoy that same amazing feeling.
This purposeful brand has given out more than 18,000 pairs of socks to homeless people across the Midwest since its founding it 2016. But giving away socks is just one-way Hippy Feet gives back. A portion of all proceeds goes to give homeless youth jobs, giving them the necessary skills to get them off the street. In fact, 35 homeless youth have found employment with Hippy Feet.
Each pair is made using environmentally friendly materials right here in the USA. That means using recycled yarns which limits pollution because pesticides and fertilizers aren’t used. When the recycled yarn isn’t available, Hippy Feet uses organic cotton. It’s also saving water by, nearly 15-million liters of it, by using an H20 stingy manufacturing process.
But the best part of Hippy Feet isn’t its altruistic business model, but it’s socks. These socks are good looking, durable and comfortable. They feel so good you won’t want to wear anything else! What a great gift that doubles your giving this holiday.
Why Give Hippy Feet This Christmas:
For every pair of socks sold, another pair is donated to a person in need
All products are made in the USA
All merchandise is constructed using environmentally friendly materials
It just feels good!
About Hippy Feet: Hippy Feet got its start in an unusual way – with a bump on the head! Founder Michael Mader suffered a severe head injury after falling off his surfboard. During his long recovery, he heard about the need for clean socks at homeless shelters which inspired him to do something about it. He partnered with Sam Harper and Madelyn Pung to launch Hippy Feet in 2016. Since then, the Minnesota-based company has delivered nearly 20,000 pairs of socks to those less fortunate.
