There are moments in building a business that remind you exactly why you started.
Last week, we had one of those moments.
We delivered 450 toques to the Calgary Drop-In, and not a single one of those 450 came from a charity budget, a fundraiser, or a grant. They came from a company simply choosing to order branded gear for their team.
That company is ARC Resources.
And this is the story of what happens when a purchase becomes a purpose.
When we launched Local Laundry in 2015, we had a simple belief: clothing should do more than just look good. From the very beginning, we built a program around that idea, the Giving Garments™ program. Our very first donation was a $100 cheque, sent to the Calgary Drop-In Centre, an organization on the front lines of our city's most pressing social challenges.
Ten years later, we're still showing up for them. But now, we're doing it at scale.
450 toques. Delivered directly to people who need them most. That's not a donation drive. That's just what our Giving Garments™ program does, quietly, consistently, every single time someone places an order.
What Is the Giving Garments™ Program?
Every Giving Toque purchased, whether by an individual or a company, triggers a 1-for-1 donation. One toque bought, one toque donated to a Canadian in need.
No extra steps.
We believe that's how giving should work: seamlessly, at scale, and without asking people to do more than they already are.
Since 2015, this program has sent thousands of toques, socks, and other essentials to organizations across Canada, from youth shelters to community centres to drop-in services. We're on a mission to donate $1 million to charities by 2030, and every single order gets us closer.
ARC Resources Didn't Just Buy Swag. They Fuelled a Mission.
ARC Resources is one of Canada's leading energy producers, a company that takes pride in being a responsible, community-minded operator. When they came to us for custom-branded toques for their team, they didn't just get quality Canadian-made gear with their logo on it.
They got a story worth telling.
Their order of custom Giving Toques triggered 450 donations to the Calgary Drop-In Centre, an organization that houses, feeds, and supports thousands of Calgarians every single year. The Drop-In doesn't just provide shelter.
They restore dignity.
They create pathways.
And now, because of ARC's team order, 450 more neighbours have a warm toque on their head.
Same budget. Same order. Twice the impact.
Want One for Yourself? We've Got You.
You don't have to be a corporation to be part of this. Our Giving Toques are available right now, ready to ship, Made in Canada, and waiting for a good head to land on.
