Multiply your impact with a Soles4Souls shoe drive.

Most people own many more pairs of shoes than they wear. By hosting a shoe drive, you put all of that unused footwear to work—literally!

Create opportunity

Gently used shoes you collect get funneled to developing countries, where people start small businesses to sell them.

Generate income.

By selling shoes, business owners have money to provide for their family—and people who need shoes the most get them at a price they can afford.

Provide relief.

Funds generated through our micro-enterprise program allow us to use 100% of donor contributions for direct assistance and disaster relief programs in Canada and around the world

Protect the environment.

By repurposing discarded shoes and clothing, you keep them out of landfills and help promote sustainability.

Hosting a shoe drive is easy and fun.

“Soles4Souls is more than a lesson in giving back – it’s a lesson in how easy it is to make ripple effects with small changes. It’s not just about shoes, it’s about changing lives. Actively participating in that process with my daughter has taught us both valuable life lessons and given us an opportunity to make meaningful change.”

- Holly Maddox

These programs serve as long-term opportunities to break the cycle of poverty for those in need. When the shoes arrive, they are sorted and, together with our partners, we determine where they need to be sent to make the most impact.
We accept all styles, types and sizes of shoes, as long as they are gently worn!
