Nationwide — Straight Talk Support Group, a community-based organization, widely known as STSG, provides support group resources for families and friends of an incarcerated loved one and transitional housing for justice-involved individuals. In true alignment with STSG’s motto, Serving to See Greatness, the organization seeks out opportunities to be a blessing to others through kindness and generosity.
“We are thrilled to partner with Bombas to spread kindness in our community,” said Bessie Elmore, Executive Director of Straight Talk Support Group and STSG Transitional House. “Donating these socks allows us to make a thoughtful gesture to our neighbors in our community. We understand the impact a changing economy is having on families. STSG prides itself on serving our community as a support system for families and friends who have incarcerated loved ones. We truly appreciate Bombas for allowing us to join them in paying it forward.”
“We started Bombas to help improve the lives of those in need through the power of giving back,” said The Bombas Giving Team. Partners like Straight Talk Support Group are selected to help Bombas get essential clothing into the hands, and onto the feet, of those in need by identifying those most in need of support in their local communities. Working with STSG to provide thoughtfully designed socks to students in underserved areas of Durham, North Carolina is a step in the right direction.
