Toque Tuesday
Tuesday, February 4, 2014 – Hamilton, ON - 2014 marks the 17th Annual Raising the Roof Toque Campaign! This signature, national campaign has raised over $3.5 million for local, Partner Agencies working towards long-term solutions to homelessness. Canadians just like you who believe that together we can make a difference, one toque at a time.
Wesley Urban Ministries has partnered with Raising the Roof, Canada's only national charity dedicated to long term solutions to homelessness. Wesley Urban Ministries is the only partner in Hamilton, Burlington and Oakville for the National Raising the Roof Toque Tuesday Program and will receive a portion of the net proceeds of all toques sold in Hamilton.
Today we hold Toque Tuesday, a time to celebrate our sales and education in the community and celebrate the top selling organization in toque sales. This year we recognize local healthcare organization St. Joseph’s Healthcare Hamilton who has sold the most toques in this year’s local campaign.
“I am honoured to accept this acknowledgement and proud of our staff who helped us in becoming the number one organization in toque sales within our community.” says Dr. David Higgins, President, St. Joseph’s Healthcare Hamilton. “As a leader in mental health and addiction care, St. Joseph's Healthcare Hamilton is pleased to be opening the Youth Wellness Centre by Fall 2014 as we continue to work closely with local community groups such as Wesley Urban Ministries to help end youth homelessness within Hamilton.”
