About Us

We’re passionate about workwear!

For over 60 years, McCarthy’s has been outfitting people to do what they do best.

During this time, we have learned that durable and fashionable workwear is essential for employers and employees alike, keeping workers safe and confident, while encouraging organizations to be more engaged and cohesive.

We will treat you like family, because we’re one too!

Our team has been working together, side by side, for generations! Being a family-run, people-first company means that we understand that our products can’t just look nice on the shelf. They need to pass the tests of busy mornings, fast-paced and changing environments—and weekly laundry—while still ensuring a presentable image at work.

Making a Difference

At McCarthy’s, community service is part of who we are as a company. Our founder, Bob McCarthy, was especially committed to ensuring that all families and children in the communities we serve have equal access to learning opportunities. Martin McCarthy, our company’s chairman continues to live this philosophy and today, is a strong advocate for the advancing the interests of families, with a specific focus on women and youth.

Some of the ways we support our communities, near and far, include:

McCarthy’s Uniform Assistance Program

We provide over $100,000 annually directly to families in need who are part of our family of schools. In 2018, our uniform assistance program extended to Syrian refugees. We were honoured to meet a diverse and exceptional group of new-to-Canada Syrian families, who were deeply moved on their first weekend in Canada, to receive complimentary uniforms for their children.

McCarthy’s Community Scholarship Program

We distribute over $70,000 annually through our graduation award program, to high school students who have demonstrated a commitment to their communities.

Sistering

We are honoured to partner with Sistering, a Canadian organization that changes women’s lives by providing safe spaces, training, and support for women experiencing extreme poverty, trauma or homelessness. McCarthy’s provides Sistering with warm apparel for their shelter locations.

International Focus

In addition to supporting local families, McCarthy’s is also proud to extend our support to communities around the world. Annually, our company develops a plan to focus on a specific region in need.

In 2018, we had the honour of supporting schools and orphanages in Nepal. In addition to providing financial and apparel donations to Nepalese orphanages, our head of technology personally visited a school in Nepal to donate computers for the classroom.
