SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — If you’re looking for a small holiday gift with a big impact – check out California Sock Company.
For every pair of socks purchased, the local company donates a pair to a child in need.
ABC 10News stopped by their Pacific Beach location, where there’s a pair of socks for everyone.
“We have Padres, Marvel, DC, NFL, Disney, Star Wars…you name it,” said Bernard Lebel, a San Diego native and the company’s CEO.
“Kids love socks, right? It just brightens up their day, their outfits, their attitudes. And these colorful socks...they make a difference,” he said.
Lebel shared his personal reason for the charitable company policy: “I grew up in a household that needed a little extra love. I was one of the kids on the Christmas tree that you would pull off the name and what I wanted for Christmas was on there…and that’s where my Christmas gifts came from for a certain time in my life."
The company works closely with community groups like the Boys & Girls Club and has also donated hundreds of thousands of socks to the local homeless community.
“I think if you’re a business owner in a local community, you have to give back to the community. Because they’re the reason you’re successful,” said Lebel.
Fun fact: California Sock Company is also the largest onesie distributor on the West Coast.
They are located in Pacific Beach, inside the Fashion Valley Mall and Temecula.
