Turning Unwanted Shoes Into Opportunity

ree

This month, we are collecting shoes for Soles for Souls. Most people own many more pairs of shoes than they wear. However, we can put all that unused footwear to work.

Gently used shoes we collect get funneled to low-income countries, where people start small businesses to sell them. These shoes could also go to people facing hardship—from survivors of natural disasters to those rebuilding their lives after experiencing homelessness or domestic violence. These essentials help restore dignity and ease financial burdens, so people can focus on what's next. Also, by repurposing discarded shoes and clothing, you divert them from landfills and help promote sustainability.

There are three collection boxes set up for your shoes. Two are in the entry foyer, and one is outside in front of the main doors.
