Take the 519Pledge

The 519Pledge is a community initiative that happens from October 1st – November 15th each year. The initiative was brought to light to change the conversation around homelessness leading into the colder months of the year. 519Pursuit encourages folks in the community to take the pledge to obtain 519 pairs of socks to donate. Each individual or team begins a conversation with their friends, families and networks for six weeks to raise awareness of items and solutions that could support those facing homelessness. Throughout the past 4 years we have had successful campaigns by raising over 183,000 pairs of socks. These socks have been donated forward to 50 other community groups, services and shelters over the past 4 years from London – Toronto.
