Charity
Giving back to the community is important to McGregor Socks. That is why McGregor donates thousands of pairs of socks each year to support organizations that help people in need.
Toronto polar bear dip
On January 1, 2019 McGregor donated 500 pairs of socks to the brave soles of the Toronto Polar Bear Dip – Doing our part to support their mission of raising funds for Boost Child and Youth Advocacy Centre.
Boost Child and Youth Advocacy Centre in Toronto answers the call when a child or youth under 18 is the victim of sexual abuse, physical abuse, emotional abuse, or neglect.
We look forward to seeing you again in 2020!
Just Socks Foundation
Currently, our charity work is focused on a collaboration with Just Socks. They raise funds for new sock donations to give to qualified partner charities/shelters – NEW socks are one of the most needed items of clothing for the homeless but one of the least donated items. Just Socks began in 2014 by donating to charities in Toronto and they plan to expand across Canada.
