There is an enormous need for NEW SOCKS across charities and shelters in Canada. People think about donating many other items of clothing but often forget about the almighty pair of socks! Socks are vital to keep feet dry, warm and free from disease.

 

Our Mission

Socks for Hope is a volunteer community that comes together to help others. Our Mission is to support vulnerable people that are experiencing homelessness and hardship in Hamilton and Halton. We collaborate with family & friends, local businesses, organizations, schools, churches, fire and police stations, to gather socks for key organizations that distribute directly to thousands of individuals in need.
 

Key Dates of the 2025 Campaign​

This year will be going back to our roots and will provide a ‘full-service’ experience. Sock Boxes will be delivered to your home or office throughout November and we will be coordinating pick up of all the socks at the end of the campaign.

During our official campaign you can donate a pair of socks to over 100 different Sock Ambassadors throughout Halton and Hamilton or host a collection of your own. See our Community page to engage with any of our community partners or check out How To Give.

We are a Nonprofit Organization

Socks for Hope is a nonprofit organization. Everything is donated and deliveries are made by volunteers. All monetary donations  buy new socks, cover costs like signage and crates, and help us raise spirit with some cookies & hot chocolate for our kick-off!

Thanks to our giving community, we enjoy a growing momentum every year! We are grateful for all of your support💛
