Homelessness in Canada remains a growing and urgent issue, especially during the harsh winter months. Each year, over 235,000 Canadians experience homelessness, and thousands more live on the edge, struggling to stay warm and safe. With subzero temperatures hitting every single province, the need for warm winter gear is not just about comfort it’s about survival. This is something we have learned from speaking to our over 100+ giving partners over the years and it is why we continue to work towards our giving goals.
At Toques From The Heart, we believe in more than just making high-quality winter headwear. We’re proud to be a Canadian brand giving back through our Buy One = Give One mission. For every toque purchased, we donate one to a Canadian in need. This simple but powerful act allows our customers to directly support someone experiencing homelessness with each purchase.
Our mission was born from a desire to create ethical winter clothing that provides warmth with purpose. Not only are you receiving a winter essential, but someone in need is as well.
How do we do this?
We partner with shelters, outreach programs, and charitable organizations across the country to ensure that our toques reach the people who need them most. From Toronto and Vancouver to smaller communities like Thunder Bay and Moncton, we are about keeping all Canadians warm, together.
Why a toque? It might seem small, but it makes a big difference. Keeping the head warm can help retain body heat and protect against frostbite. For those without consistent shelter, that warmth can be life-saving.
Matt and I are two entrepreneurs that wanted to make a socially conscious Canadian company. We believe in doing good every single day through our mission. Every toque purchased is a vote for kindness, dignity, and for a better Canada.
More and more people are looking for brands that help those in need, especially during the holiday season. Whether you're shopping for a gift or upgrading your winter wardrobe, choosing Toques From The Heart means supporting a company that supports those experiencing homelessness in Canada with every order.
