Annual Fundraiser
Working Gear’s annual fundraiser is back – help us reach our $35,000 goal!
GIVE TODAY and immediately double your impact – a generous donor has offered to match every dollar raised up to $10,000! For every dollar you donate, we will get $2.
At Working Gear, we offer a hand up, not a hand out. We provide workwear, safety gear and haircuts free of charge to help low-income and unemployed individuals transition back into the workforce. As Canada’s Fastest Growing Small Charity (yes, really), demand for our services has skyrocketed, and we risk running out of essential items. This year alone, we have helped over 1,800 individuals – that’s up 44% from last year.
With your donation, we can continue to supply those in need with the gear – and the confidence – to get back on the job site. 96% of all financial donations go directly to program delivery.
To make a donation, please visit our donation page. None of this work is possible without our huge community of supporters!
Kind Regards,
Sarah Beley
