We are entering the last week of The 519Pledge For Socks & your donations are creating change in our community!🧦 Consider donating a new pair of socks to @519pursuit this Saturday, outside at the Farmers Market 8–1 💛

Winter happens fast and can happen overnight. For friends facing homelessness and extreme poverty, there is little to no time to prepare. Survival is at the front lines of day-to-day living and we are hoping to keep people warm. Starting the day with a clean/fresh pair of socks can re-energize and support one’s overall health and comfort. With the weather fluctuating and environmental factors changing all the time, friends facing homelessness and extreme poverty can be found in damp, cold, or sometimes very wet socks. We want to change this! We want to make sure no toes go cold this winter!

Naturopathy for All Winter Warm Up is a fundraiser for Naturopathy for All, making naturopathic medicine accessible to everyone!

Naturopathic medicine is one of the many valuable approaches needed to transform the health outcomes attained by many Canadians. It’s approach combines the strengths of many beautiful modalities such as acupuncture, herbs, homeopathy, lifestyle changes, nutrition and much more to address the root cause of illness. Furthermore, naturopathic doctors work within an intercollaborative framework with not only other care providers, but the valuable array of practitioners that are transforming the lives of others such as herbalists, chiropractors, osteopaths, and traditional Chinese medicine practitioners to attain the best outcomes possible.

Yet despite its effective approach, naturopathic medicine is out of reach for many Canadians given the costs associated with it. Therefore, Naturopathy for All was created as a way to eradicate these financial barriers to make naturopathic care more accessible. So I invite you on the 26th to support this beautiful event as it not only brings together an array of holistic practitioners within our community, but its proceeds go towards funding naturopathic care for countless Canadians. If you cannot make it, ensure to visit Naturopathy for All’s website to find out how you can support their Amazing endeavour.
