The Source reports that the Vans team packed 4,000 tees, 5,000 pairs of shoes and 5,000 pairs of socks.
“Vans has always been about people helping people. We may be based in California, but I want to be in Texas to hand out shoes, socks, and shirts to anyone who may be in need of dry clothes,” Van Doren tells The Source.
They’ve also donated $50,000 to the Red Cross Fund for Hurricane Harvey, according to The Source. “I know there are so many people in need, and I just want people to know that Vans and I give a shit!,” Van Doren says.
And we can't get over how amazing their donation is.
