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 every December 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.
