Chiropractors launch Toasty Toes Sock Drive across Saskatchewan

With winter approaching, Saskatchewan chiropractors are once again urging residents to help warm the feet of those in need through the annual Toasty Toes sock drive.

The campaign, organized by the Chiropractors’ Association of Saskatchewan, aims to collect 10,000 new pairs of socks to be distributed by the Salvation Army.

“No one in our province should have to face winter without something as basic — and essential — as warm socks,” said Dr. Jennifer Beggs, Regina chiropractor and association president, in a statement.

“Through Toasty Toes, chiropractors, our patients and our communities are coming together to make sure that warmth and compassion reach every corner of Saskatchewan,” she added.

Donations of new socks or sock packages can be made at participating chiropractic clinics until Nov. 28.

“A clean, dry pair of socks can make a significant difference for those facing homelessness or financial hardship during a Saskatchewan winter,” the statement noted.

“Toasty Toes is a wonderful example of how small acts of kindness — like donating a pair of socks — can have a huge impact when a community works together,” said Maj. Mike Hoeft of the Salvation Army in Saskatoon.

Over the past eight years, the campaign has collected nearly 124,000 pairs of socks and $12,000 in donations.
