At Warm Soles, our mission is simple yet powerful — to provide warmth, comfort, and dignity to individuals experiencing homelessness in Northern Nevada. We collect gently used, single-use medical socks from local surgical and medical facilities, sanitize them, and redistribute them to area nonprofits, shelters, and outreach organizations serving those in need.
Our Mission
Every day, thousands of clean, lightly used medical socks are thrown away after a single use in surgical centers, hospitals, and outpatient clinics. These socks are durable, soft, and warm — exactly what many people living without stable housing desperately need. Through partnerships with healthcare providers, volunteers, and community organizations, we’re creating a sustainable cycle of care that keeps people warmer and reduces waste.
Our Cause

Our Board
Our board consists of dedicated local Medical Professionals, Business Professionals, and — best of all — people who truly care about making a difference in our community. Their combined experience and compassion guide every step we take at Warm Soles.
