There’s nothing that makes me happier than when two brands I love team up to create positive change in the world. And this week, that’s exactly what’s happening at Target Canada this week thanks to a fabulous new partnership with TOMS footwear! I’ve always loved TOMS’ dedication to providing a pair of shoes to a child in need for each pair sold but now with the release of the Target+TOMS collection, purchasing items from this exclusive line does even more to support those in need!
The collection features over 50 items of clothing and shoes for men, women and children as well as cute home décor pieces, and I fell in love with the trendy styles immediately. The adorable women’s hat in Oatmeal is one of my particular favourites. At just $16, it offers great style and warmth for a great price. And purchasing it provides a blanket to someone in need! I also love the children’s TOMS t-shirt, which provides one week of meals to a hungry person through a donation to Food Banks of Canada!
One Day Without Shoes was created four years ago as a way of drawing attention to the need for shoes around the world. Often, in developing countries, children must walk for miles in their bare feet to attend school, fetch water and perform other tasks necessary to their health and survival. Last year, over 250,000 people around the world joined in the many events and activities to support this worthy cause, and this year, the goals are set even higher. There is even a barefoot march taking place on Queen Street West in Toronto!
