Host a Shoe Drive

Shoe Drives

 

Shoe drives are not your typical fundraiser. Instead of collecting donations, invite your friends, family, and neighbors to each buy a pair of shoes—specially picked out for a child in need.

How it works.
Shoe drives are not your typical fundraiser. Instead of collecting donations, they're about inviting friends, family, and neighbors to each buy a pair of shoes for a child in need. You'll be provided with a list of exactly the sizes and styles needed. Then, you take it from there—spreading the word, dividing the list among your participants, and collecting shoes with the knowledge that you are making a huge difference in so many children’s lives.
Why it works.
Shoe drives are one of the most effective ways you can help homeless children in your community. With over 2.5 million homeless children in this country, there are a lot of feet in need of shoes that fit. We are a small organization with a big goal, of putting new shoes on every single one of those feet. And we can’t do it without you. Every step we can take to make those feet and those lives happier and healthier is one we need to take.
What you'll need.
All you need for a shoe drive is some friends, family, or neighbors and a passion for improving children’s lives. Hosting a drive is a great thing to do with your local community group, school, sports team, church/synagogue/mosque, or simply in your own front yard. Simply contact us to get started and we’ll send you the materials and information you need to get your drive on its way.
