The One More Wear Foundation accepts donated clothing for youth and young adults who are struggling with poverty in the Greater Toronto Area. We contribute to improving the lives and opportunities of young men and women by providing accessible clothing for employment and enjoyment. Our fashion consultants assist youth to not only look impressive, but to feel confident so that they can find employment or pursue other social, artistic, and academic goals. The One More Wear Foundation also offers meaningful job-training seminars and career building workshops for youth. We strive to build community resilience in the face of today’s trying economic climate.
Floating Fact: While Toronto scores high on many quality of life measures, it remains the “child poverty capital of Canada.” One in four children in Toronto is being raised in poverty, a number that has remained fairly consistent for the past two decades.
