Starbucks Staff Helping Deliver Socks and Underwear to Foster Youth Nationwide
At Foster Love, partnerships and teamwork make all the difference. Recently, we hosted a memorable event with a hardworking group of Starbucks employees. Through their Starbucks staff team building activities, this amazing team packed two pallets worth of Bombas t-shirts and underwear, all destined to support foster youth during Socktober.
Teamwork That Matters
The Starbucks team showed up ready to work, and their enthusiasm was infectious. With determination and heart, they packed hundreds of items to ensure they would reach the kids who need them most. These efforts symbolized compassion and dedication to a cause that touches so many lives.
Their work directly contributed to an initiative that is particularly special: Socktober, a month-long drive dedicated to providing foster youth with the basics they need to feel comfortable and cared for. This effort wouldn’t be possible without incredible volunteers like the Starbucks team, who dedicate their time to making an impact.
Bombas: A Key Partner in Change
This event was also a chance to highlight Foster Love’s ongoing partnership with Bombas. Over the years, Bombas has donated an incredible 57,500 pairs of socks, ensuring that children in foster care have access to high-quality essentials. These socks, along with the t-shirts and underwear packed during this event, will help foster youth feel seen, valued, and supported.
The partnership between Bombas, Starbucks, and Foster Love shows what’s possible when businesses come together with a shared goal of fostering change. It’s not just about meeting material needs—it’s about creating a network of support and care for kids who deserve every bit of love and kindness we can offer.

Starbucks Staff Team Building Makes an Impact
The power of Starbucks staff team building activities lies in more than the number of items packed. It’s in the camaraderie, energy, and shared sense of purpose that drives the team to do their best work. Events like these foster a spirit of collaboration and a deeper understanding of the challenges foster youth face.
For the Starbucks team, the day was a mix of productivity and heartfelt connection. Many team members expressed how much they valued being part of such an important initiative. Their efforts not only packed pallets but also sent a clear message to foster youth: You are cared for, and your community is here for you.
Moving Forward
Foster Love is deeply thankful for the Starbucks team and their dedication to creating change. Their hard work during this Socktober initiative will uplift the lives of foster youth, providing essentials that bring comfort and confidence.
We’re excited to continue building meaningful partnerships with Starbucks and others, finding new ways to make a lasting difference. Together, through events like these, we can ensure foster children feel supported, valued, and embraced by their community.
