(La Porte County, IN) - Nest Community Shelter, La Porte County’s only emergency shelter for unhoused men, women, and women with children, has donated over 2,000 pair of Bombas brand socks.

 

The recipient is Michigan City Area Schools, who will distribute the socks to students in need.

 

The shelter received the premium socks from Bombas and made the donation to the school system from the pairs leftover.

 

"We are honored to share this generous donation with our local school. We want every student who needs a pair of socks or two to have them," said Harry Holtcamp, Director of Nest Community Shelter.

 

This is the third year Bombas has donated socks to the shelter.

 

Michigan City Area Schools will distribute the donated socks to students identified as unhoused or coming from low-income households across all grade levels.

 

“MCAS is so grateful for the partnership and generosity of the Nest Community Shelter in securing and sharing this donation of socks with our students. When our students feel supported and cared for, they can focus on achieving their full potential,” Associate Schools Superintendent Cathy Bildhauser said.

 

Nest has shelters in Michigan City and La Porte.
