A letter from our founder...

 

I'm so pleased to introduce you to our new partner - Avivo MN! 

 

 

Hello friends - I wrote something similar on our other partner highlight page talking about Water.org, but let me give you a little background just in case you haven't seen that page... 

I really hope you're enjoying our very special, and unique socks! When I designed these bamboo charcoal socks, I knew that I wanted to build a company that did more than just selling stuff. I wanted to provide a solution to tired, smelly feet, and we did just that with my BSBF Bamboo Charcoal Socks. 

Beyond this innovative solution though, we wanted to do more. Now, as a very small company (hi, it's me, I'm The Company) there would be little impact we could have on our own beyond choosing sustainable packaging choices and responsible business practices.

 

Now, let's talk a little more about our new partner! 

Avivo MN believes everyone deserves the chance to live well and work well.

Right in my own neighborhood, Avivo serves nearly 10,000 individuals each year; helping them achieve recovery, find housing stability, and achieve employment and economic advancement. Serving Minnesota since 1960, they specialize in helping individuals and families who face complex barriers – poverty, homelessness, unemployment, chemical addiction or mental health concerns – achieve recovery and economic stability. Avivo’s holistic approach to providing chemical and mental health services, career education, and employment services embraces each person’s unique journey. Ultimately, their paired services lay a foundation of health, and social and economic wellness, that transforms lives.

Here is some more information about the tremendous work they do in my community: 

Avivo is HERE. We work to end Homelessness. We provide Education and training. We support Recovery and mental health. We prepare people for Employment and success.

 

Now, 20% of every purchase from BSBF still goes to Water.org and we'll donate 1 pair for every pair of socks purchased to Avivo MN. Join us on Instagram to see the donations add up every month! 

Many thanks,
