Giving back at the 2025 Cardinal Walk

The Cardinal Walk is an opportunity to champion what matters most to you.

Donation drive — Sock it to us!

Did you know that socks are one of the items that people facing homelessness need the most? Here are two ways you can help:

1. Buy new socks wherever you shop and drop them in a donation bin at the Cardinal Walk event. We’ll donate them to Coastside Hope, benefitting people in need in the Bay Area.
2. You can also support our sock drive by donating via the Amazon wish list or by purchasing a pair on Bombas.com, and having them delivered to:

Coastside Hope
248 Main St. #200, Half Moon Bay, CA 94019

For every pair of socks you buy, Bombas will donate an additional pair to a U.S. non-profit serving people who face homelessness.

Give back year-round, wherever you are

You can give back all year by creating an account on the Cardinal at Work Cares Volunteer Platform. In the platform, you can select your interests, causes, and organizations and learn how to volunteer your time and get involved.
