What is SOS?

SOS, Share Our Shoes, is a shoe charity dedicated to recycling shoes for those in desperate need. To date ,Share Our Shoes has sent 412,800 pairs to the Haiti earthquake victims, 27,000 pairs to the flood victims in Nashville, TN and in the past year we have given WELL over 10,000 pairs to our local homeless, elderly, and financially challenged  families. We most recently sent hundreds of shoes with missionaries to Uganda.

We are still working to reach our goal of sending 1 million pairs of shoes to Haiti. Haiti will need our help for years to come!

What kind of shoes are okay to donate?

If you have extra shoes just sitting in your closet, consider donating them! Share our Shoes accepts ANY types of shoes, no matter what their condition! There are many uses for the shoes. We have men and women that come to our facility daily, who have found a job, but they cannot start because they do not have a pair of required steel toed boots. They do not care what they look like; they would just like to start their job and then they could buy a new pair with their first check, if needed!

Also, women's dress shoes are needed. There are women  financially  challenged here in the community. They are trying to find  jobs and when they have an interview, dress shoes are needed to wear to the  interview.

SO, DONATE ANY TYPE, ANY STYLE, AND ANY SIZE! Also, if your shoes are not in real good condition, we will take those also! There are homeless that do not want shoes that are new looking, because they are afraid they will get assaulted for their shoes. In addition, Nike has recycling programs that reuses the rubber of damaged old shoes. From the old rubber, Nike manufactures Playground Play Surfaces for  our children to play on. Efforts like these, help keep the shoes out of the landfills, which is much better for our environment!

SOS is Recycling Shoes 4 Those in need HERE and around The WORLD!
