The frigid temperatures outside did nothing to cool the giving
spiritinside Union Station yesterday morning.
Toronto
Maple Leaf Tie Domi joined representatives from 15 downtown
office towers to help launch the fifth annual clothing drive
for the Yonge Street Mission. 
"It's
great to see everyone pitching in to help fellow Torontonians,"
Domi said before heading off to the ACC.
The
office towers are all connected to the PATH, a 14-km-long
series of underground tunnels that is hosting the "longest
underground walkway sale and charitable clothing drive"
until Friday.
The
drive hopes to collect 40,000 bags of clothes from the towers'
employees for the Double Take used clothing outlet at Yonge
and Gerrard Sts. Donors will receive prize ballots and discount
coupons from PATH merchants.
More
than 60,000 donations bags have been distributed to employees
of 15 the downtown towers.
"It
is our single largest clothing drive all year," said
Rick Tobias, Yonge Street Mission executive director. The
drives runs until Friday.
