About us

People living in poverty want a better life, but many lack opportunity. At Soles4Souls, we turn unwanted shoes and clothing into opportunity, by keeping them from going to waste and putting them to good use - providing relief, creating jobs and empowering people to break the cycle of poverty. Together with our supporters and partners, we’ve gotten 94 million pairs of shoes and pieces of clothing to people in 138 countries and all 50 US states since 2006

    When you donate shoes to Soles4Souls, they are put to work in our 4Opportunity program. In this program, Soles4Souls works with vetted partners in low income countries to help entrepreneurs start and grow businesses that sell donated shoes and clothing. Your donated shoes are helping provide an opportunity for entrepreneurs to step out of poverty. See how your company can get involved and support our mission by visiting the link below. https://hubs.la/Q02LVxVk0 #giveshoes #entrepreneurs #nonprofit #giveback #shoes #socialimpact #dogood

    We value sustainability and re-use! 🌏 At Erren Recondition, if we can't recondition a product, we have sustainable solutions. We're proud to say that 𝟵𝟱% of goods that come in with problems are given a sustainable future use! Only 𝟱% end up being incinerated, and even then, the heat generated is used for district heating. Here's how we do it: 1. RE-USE ♻️ We give products a second chance by processing and restoring items like shoes for a leading safety equipment supplier. Lightly worn shoes are donated to the Soles4Souls foundation, supporting their mission to combat global poverty. 2. UPCYCLING 🔄 Our team creatively upcycles "worn out" products into new items, such as repurposing waste leather into barbecue aprons. We also turn abandoned festival tents into waterproof backpack covers through the "The Bag Protector" project. Check it out at www.thebagprotector.nl. 3. RECYCLING ♻️ When products reach the end of their life, we recycle them. Clothing is sorted so specialized companies can create new fabrics. For items where raw materials can't be recovered, incineration at Duiven's plant is the last resort, providing energy for local heating. We are committed to using every product as sustainably as possible until its very end. Join us in our mission to create a greener future! 🌍💚 #Sustainability #Recycling #Reuse #CircularEconomy

    We are thrilled to share that in May, Mackage partnered with Soles4Souls to collect 764 pairs of shoes from 659 customers across 19 stores in the US, CA, and EU. We are grateful for Mackage’s commitment to sustainability.  Through this shoe drive, they reduced the environmental impact of these unwanted shoes and clothing by extending their lifespan as well as also creating a big impact in our 4Opportunity program.  Thank you, Mackage, for your incredible support and dedication to making a positive impact! #Soles4Souls #Sustainability #Mackage #4Opportunity

    We had a wonderful time visiting with our partners at Ground Up International during #FFANY week. Ground Up is hosting a campaign in support of our #4EveryKid program for Back to School. The campaign will run until September 6th. Make sure you stop by their NYC showroom to drop off any unwanted shoes! Ground Up will also be donating 500* pairs of shoes from their own inventory for kids experiencing homelessness in the NYC area. We are so grateful for their support! *subject to change depending on amount collected #Soles4Souls #Partner4Impact #GiveBack #shoes
