We did it! Thank-you for helping us raise over 220,000 pairs of socks!
For the last seven years, Indie88 and Socks4Souls Canada teamed up during the holiday season and collected thousands of socks from the good people of the GTA. This year, we want to do it again! Help us collect 200,000 pairs of socks for Toronto’s unhoused individuals. Click here to watch our Socks for The Streets Video.
Join Indie88 with Socks4Souls Canada on Friday, December 13th from 12pm to 4pm and Saturday, December 14th from 10am to 6pm at Cadillac Fairview Mall as we host our annual Socks for the Streets event. We’ll be broadcasting live all-day collecting your new unused sock and monetary donations. We’ll be located by Guest Services on the second level near entrance 4.
Can’t make it? Indie88 is happy to partner with Kitchen Stuff Plus as our Drop Off Sponsor. Scroll down to the bottom to see a list of locations accepting Sock Donations. Just look for the Socks 4 Souls bins at the entrance.
Socks 4 Souls Canada is a primarily volunteer based organization that helps provide warmth, comfort and mobility by distributing new socks for Toronto’s unhoused population. On any given night, there are 10,000+ people experiencing homelessness in the GTA. Nearly 20% of their medical ailments are related to poor foot care, which significantly impedes their ability to access food, shelter, and other social resources. Socks 4 Souls Canada procures both sock and monetary donations from school and workplace sock drive, corporations, businesses, and private citizens, and distributes them to agencies who work directly with those who are experiencing homelessness across southwestern Ontario.
