Opportunity Details

Host a shoe drive! By hosting a shoe drive you can create community engagement, provide new opportunities for those in need AND give back to the environment. Every 20 pairs of shoes counts as 1 hour of service plus any hours spent marketing the drive and collecting/pairing shoes count as service hours as well.

Soles4Souls creates sustainable jobs and provides relief through the distribution of shoes and clothing around the world. It’s estimated that 21 billion pounds of textile waste is dumped in landfills every year. That makes up more than 5% of all municipal waste generated every year. Since 2006, Soles4Souls has diverted 23.8 million pounds of shoes and clothes from landfills and instead created meaningful economic opportunities and helped provide new shoes for those in need around the globe. Gently-worn shoes collected help individuals start and sustain small businesses to lift themselves and their families out of poverty.

Hosting a shoe drive can be done in 5 simple steps:

1. Choose a theme for your drive (i.e. Go Green, Thanks4Giving, Women4Women or generic “Create Your Own). Marketing materials look different depending on what you choose.
2. Register to host a shoe drive for a specific period of time and with a goal in mind: https://soles4souls.org/shoe-drive/
3. Soles4Souls provides branded collection boxes for you to set out. You line these with a garbage bag and replace as it is filled.
4. You would blast an email out to your employees, clients, customers, etc as you prefer letting them know about the drive. Flyers and links to resources will be provided for this!
5. Once the drive concludes, volunteers will count the shoes, pair them together, and bring to the Regional Donation Center or ship them to the nearest warehouse. A Soles4Souls representative will help coordinate this once a drive is registered.

At the event, volunteers comb the beaches to find, remove and record litter and debris.

By removing the debris, volunteers are making the beaches and waterways safer and more enjoyable for marine life and beach goers alike. By recording the data, volunteers contribute to a legacy of information on marine debris that has been growing for 34 years!

This information is utilized by COA to drive legislation that will stop marine debris at the source, saving our precious beaches and marine life. This event also provides a powerful take-home lesson for volunteers who might be unfamiliar with the severity of our world's marine debris problem.
