Ottawa Markets is excited to announce that we’re partnering with ToastyToes to host a drop-off donation location in the ByWard Market!

The ToastyToes campaign raises funds for agencies to buy new socks for people experiencing or at risk of homelessness in our Region. In 2020, more than 1,250 pairs of new socks and more than $1,100 was raised to purchase new socks that were distributed into the local community. With your help spreading the word about this initiative we can ensure everyone has ToastyToes this winter.

Bring a new set of socks to our info booth at 55 ByWard Market square to make a donation or click here to make a financial donation! The 2021 ToastyToes donation period runs until December 10th - but we'll be accepting sock donations until December 23rd.

Socks are one of the most requested items in shelters. Never underestimate the difference you can make with a pair of warm, dry socks. Socks deliver warmth, dignity, health, caring and comfort. Please consider donating the cost of a pair of socks or more.
