Giving Back with Style #TOMSforTarget

by 357 Comments

| UPDATED ON:

I purchased my first pair of TOMS shortly after they were available in Canada.  I loved the comfort of them and the style reminded me of shoes I had seen when I’ve travelled in Africa and South America. The best part for me was the One for One® giving model that allowed TOMS to give a pair of shoes to a child in need. Giving back just by purchasing shoes? Awesome. I wore those flats everywhere.  Since then I have purchased multiple pairs of TOMS and given them as gifts. TOMS are not only fashion forward shoes, boots, and glasses but I feel good about committing to a company that is committed to give back.  With every purchase, someone in need is helped.  If you were looking for a reason to feel good about shopping, this is it!

“We’re excited to partner with Target and take TOMS’ One for One® giving model further than before. Each and every purchase allows Target’s guests to do good this holiday season, providing warmth, nourishment or shoes to a person in need.” – Blake Mycoskie, TOMS founder.

Check out some of the items from the Women’s, Home and Kids TOMS for Target collections:

TOMS for target women

TOMS for Target home

TOMS for Target kids

The TOMS for Target collection is inspired by TOMS’ crafted, yet modern feel, and includes more than 50 items across apparel, accessories, shoes and home goods. For each item purchased from the TOMS for Target collection, Target is donating a blanket, meals or shoes in partnership with TOMS and North America-based charities American Red Cross Disaster Relief, Canadian Red Cross, Feeding America and Food Banks Canada. Each product will display its corresponding donations so Target guests can easily see their impact.

TOMS for Target Holiday collection hits stores in Canada and the U.S. on Sunday, November 16. 

To Celebrate the #TOMSforTarget launch we are giving away a $100 Target gift card – CAN only – ends 5/12

  223. Every year my husband and I keep $50 in the cupboard. This money is used for those stricken by tragedy. Every year we donate either in the form of needed goods or cash to people who have been stricken by misfortune through the holidays. Last year a young couple in Belle river, ON had a house fire and lost almost everything. We donated a Sears card to buy the kids some much needed apparel. In 2013 a young families Mom found out 3 weeks before Xmas that she had breast cancer. My husband and I donated a $50 gas card to help with trips to Toronto to receive future medical care. Every year there are so many others that do without or are needy. We should all have a cupboard fund may it be $5 or $5o to help out ours neighbours!!

  336. I’ve already done the bulk of my shopping, so I would probably use it to buy some Our Generation dolls (Target’s version of 18-inch dolls) or other toys/games so that we could donate to some of the children in our children’s hospital’s oncology unit. We always try to give back to the hospital this time of year who has given us so much (my eldest daughter received her cancer-free diagnosis on Dec. 21 2011, so we’ll always remember how amazing that Christmas was!) and some kids are having such a hard time. It would be nice for the nurses to be able to bring some joy to the kids instead of just chemo meds and pokes. And, if there was a little leftover, maybe something small for the nursing staff, to say thank you for their tireless work….
