Providing new shoes and clothing to people in crisis

How we help

A Lifeline in Times of Crisis

When disaster strikes, a simple pair of shoes can be the first step towards recovery. Soles4Souls’ 4Relief program provides more than just shoes, socks, and clothing—it offers dignity, hope, and a chance for renewal to those facing unimaginable hardships.

From natural disasters to personal crises, your donation equips individuals to rebuild their lives. Every contribution helps someone take that crucial step forward—whether it’s returning to work, going back to school, or caring for their family.

Support on standby

Reaching out

Together with our partners, we lend a hand to people and communities in need – right when they need it.

Poverty and Homelessness

For those struggling financially or experiencing homelessness, proper footwear is essential for work, school, and daily life. Our distributions help ease financial burdens and restore dignity.

Natural Disasters and Health Crises

When disasters strike, many lose everything. We provide shoes and clothing to help protect, comfort, and support recovery in affected communities.

Domestic Violence

Survivors often flee with nothing. By providing new shoes and clothing, we offer comfort, dignity, and a fresh start.

War and Political Unrest

Displaced individuals face immense hardship. Our distributions help refugees and those affected by conflict regain a sense of normalcy and security.

“I watched my entire house burn down—the house where I raised all my kids. What do we do now? … I’m so grateful for your donations. They’ve given me hope in people and a belief that we will overcome this.”

Our Impact

Essential Support in Times of Crisis

Relief work has been part of Soles4Souls’ DNA since 2004 when we mobilized to provide hundreds of thousands of shoes to those affected by tsunami in Southeast Asia and again in 2005 in response to Hurricane Katrina. Since then, with the help of our generous donors, we’ve distributed nearly 10 million pairs of new shoes and pieces of new clothing to 2,000 partners around the world.

4 in 5 people report improved physical and mental well-being, with fewer injuries, increased mobility, and better mental health.
1 in 2 people returned to work, and 1 in 5 secured new jobs, empowered by receiving quality clothing and footwear that boost confidence and aid in job searches.
90% of our partner organizations confirm that these donations of clothing and footwear are essential to their disaster relief efforts.

Today I was able to get clothes, a coat, food, pants, underwear, socks and these gym shoes! I recently had to move and I wasn’t able to bring anything with me. Getting these new shoes today is helping me save money.

Success

Pittsburgh, PA

Each child was given a string backpack, Rosary, toiletries, dress or shirt & pants and underwear, and lastly they were given shoes. The smiles on their faces said it all. Some had been wearing old tattered, mismatched, wrong sized shoes. Many were barefoot with noticable signs of curs and sores which we did the best to take care of.
