Local Laundry’s 2024 Giving Garments Donation

At Local Laundry, we’ve always believed that clothing is more than fabric, it’s a way to bring people together, share stories, and give back to the community. That belief drives everything we do, and we couldn’t be prouder to wrap up our 2024 Giving Garments program by donating 1,600+ toques and 1,200+ pairs of socks to Wood’s Homes.

Supporting Community, One Garment at a Time

Wood’s Homes, a vital organization helping vulnerable youth across Alberta, will distribute these donations to their Inglewood Opportunity Hub in Calgary, as well as youth shelters in Lethbridge and Fort McMurray. These items aren’t just warm essentials, they’re symbols of care and support during the harsh Canadian winter.

For us, this isn’t just about fulfilling a commitment. It’s about standing with the communities that make Canada strong. Every Giving Toque and pair of Giving Socks you purchased made this possible. Together, we’ve made a tangible impact.

Why Canadian-Made Matters

In a world where global supply chains are uncertain and tensions with key trade partners like the U.S. grow, choosing Canadian-made has never been more critical. By creating our Giving Garments here in Canada, we’re not just reducing our carbon footprint, we’re supporting local jobs, local businesses, and the people who keep our economy moving.

When you purchase Canadian-made, you’re making a statement. You’re showing that you believe in sustainable, ethical production. You’re strengthening the local economy and empowering small businesses. And most importantly, you’re proving that Canadians show up for each other in times of need.

A Bigger Mission: $1 Million by 2030

This donation is part of something bigger. Our mission is to donate $1 million to charities by 2030 through our Giving Garments and community-driven initiatives. Every purchase brings us one step closer to that goal, proving that small actions can create massive impact.

The Power of Community in Uncertain Times

Let’s face it, these past few years haven’t been easy. Small businesses across the country are feeling the pinch of rising costs and international trade disputes. But if there’s one thing we know, it’s that Canadians have always had each other’s backs. We’ve seen it in the way you’ve embraced our Giving Garments program, turning purchases into meaningful change for vulnerable youth.

This donation isn’t just about us or Wood’s Homes. It’s about all of us coming together to make a difference. It’s proof that when Canadians support Canadians, we can tackle anything, whether it’s a cold winter or broader challenges on the horizon.

Looking Ahead: Building a Better 2025

While we’re celebrating the success of 2024, we know this is just the beginning. The need for warm essentials and community support isn’t going away, and neither are we. With your help, we’re ready to make 2025 even bigger and better. Every toque and every pair of socks you buy fuels this mission.

So, here’s our challenge to you: Keep supporting Canadian-made. Keep building community. And keep showing up for each other, because together, we can make a difference.
