Frequently Asked Questions
Why are socks so important?
  • Socks are the most needed but least donated item of clothing to homeless shelters.  
  • Over 20% of medical problems experienced by homeless people are related to foot care.
  • New socks minimize the possibility of frostbite, and reduce the risk of cellulitis, impetigo, fungal infection, trench foot and skin breakdown. ​​
  • Since walking is the primary form of transportation for homeless people, good foot care allows them better access food, shelter, medical and housing services. 
What type of socks are needed?
Because of COVID-19 guidelines, we are NOT accepting any sock donations this year. Your MONETARY DONATION will allow us to purchase and ship new, adult cotton socks to the various agencies supporting those who are experiencing homelessness.
How can I help?
where do the socks go?
The socks get distributed to homeless shelters, out of the cold programs and other organizations that support homeless people. The distribution area originated in Toronto, and has grown into the Southwestern Ontario region. Our goal is to become a national organization distributing socks across Canada.
how do i request socks to donate?
If you are an organization that supports homeless people, you can submit a request. We ask that you make every effort to pick up the socks as our distribution network is limited. 
Why are so many socks needed?
Since laundry facilities are not typically available, multiple pairs of socks are required over the course of a year.
