Hats for the Homeless
For every winter hat you purchase from My HOME Apparel, one is donated to a person in need. Every winter season our Hats for the Homeless campaign aims to spread the warmth to people around Canada. Since we began this campaign in 2016, we have donated over 3500 new winter toques to people in need.
Get your hat today and help spread the warmth!

Shelters, community centres, and related organizations across Canada are full and struggling to help the amount of people who are experiencing housing insecurity across the country.
Individuals experiencing homelessness or houselessness, domestic abuse, transphobia, homophobia or racism, trauma related to residential schools or colonization, stigma related to substance abuse, mental illness, incarceration or sex work, and more are at increased risk of hardship. These people are our neighbours and need our support.
