The Battle Ground Police Department learned that the sock company Bombas had a program designed to assist those in need
It’s easy to overlook the small things that can make a big difference; a kind gesture, a simple smile, or even something as ordinary as a clean pair of socks. Most of us start our day by putting on socks without a second thought. But imagine if those socks were worn out, full of holes, or if you didn’t have any at all. For a school student, that small detail can have a big impact on comfort, hygiene, and dignity.
The Battle Ground Police Department (BGPD) learned that the sock company Bombas had a program designed to assist those in need. Upon learning of the needs, the response from Bombas was remarkable. They donated more than 450 pairs of brand-new socks to the department.
With this generous donation, BGPD’s School Resource Officer created a fitting initiative: BGPD SOCK – Strengthening Outreach, Community, and Kindness.
BGPD School Resource Officers work closely with students within the Battle Ground School District every day and they understand the challenges some students face. These new socks will be distributed to students in need, providing not just physical comfort, but also a sense of confidence and care. Something as simple as having five new pairs of comfortable socks – one for each school day – can help a student feel valued, refreshed, and more able to focus in class.
The Battle Ground Police Department extends sincere gratitude to Bombas for their generosity in helping make a positive difference in the lives of Battle Ground students. Their efforts to assist BGPD with reinforcing its community relationships and embody the department’s commitment to its motto of “Partners With The Community.”
