At Toques From The Heart, we believe a toque can do more than keep someone warm. It can be a symbol of dignity, compassion, and hope.
Our journey started with a simple idea: repurpose old hockey socks into toques and hand them out to people in need. What began as a university project quickly grew into a mission-driven brand with one goal - to give warmth, both literally and emotionally, to Canadians experiencing homelessness.
Here’s how your purchase makes a real difference.
🧣 1. Buy One, Give One — Every Time
For every toque you buy, whether it’s a gift for a friend, a custom order for your company, or a cozy upgrade for yourself, we donate a toque to someone in need. That means your purchase directly helps someone facing a cold Canadian winter without proper protection.
This simple act of giving is baked into everything we do.
🇨🇦 2. Made in Canada. Giving in Canada.
All of our toques are made right here at home. We partner with Canadian manufacturers to ensure high-quality products and ethical practices every step of the way.
And when it comes to donations, we work with shelters and community organizations across the country from large cities to smaller communities, to get warm toques directly into the hands of people who need them most.
💛 3. Dignity Through Design
Our donation toques aren’t “lesser” versions. They’re high-quality, thoughtfully designed, and made with the same care as our retail line, they just don't have our TFTH tags on them. We believe everyone deserves warmth, and the dignity of receiving something that looks and feels good.
It’s not about handouts. It’s about lifting people up with kindness and respect.
🧶 4. Small Act, Big Impact
It may seem like a small gesture, buying a hat, but multiplied over time, your support has a huge impact. Together with our customers, we’ve donated thousands of toques across Canada.
And the best part? We’re just getting started.
✨ 5. You’re Part of Something Bigger
Every toque you purchase is more than just a piece of clothing. It’s a statement that you care. That warmth should be shared. That business can and should be a force for good.
When you shop Toques From The Heart, you’re not just buying Canadian-made winter wear. You’re joining a movement that puts people first.
