FAQ

You have questions,
and we have answers

If you're looking to donate shoes or learn more about how you can support our mission, you've come to the right place.

Can I donate a single shoe?

Yes, we do accept mismatched shoes and single shoe donations from individuals. We also work with our our footwear brand partners to pair their singles, samples, and more. If you are a brand partner, please contact [email protected] for more information.

What does gently used mean?

We accept all styles, sizes, and types of shoes and clothing, if they still have some “life” left in them. This means no holes, mold, etc. A good rule of thumb is, if you could wear them, we can use them!

How can I donate shoes to Soles4Souls?

You can donate your shoes at any of our drop off locations —just click here to find one near your. You can also ship your shoes directly to us, or if you have fewer than 15 pairs, bring them to your nearest DSW or Famous Footwear store.

What types of shoes can I donate to Soles4Souls?

Soles4Souls accepts all types of shoes, from sandals and sneakers to formal shoes, as long as they are new or gently used. Your shoe donation helps us provide footwear to people in need around the world and supports our efforts to fight poverty.

How does donating shoes to Soles4Souls help others?

When you donate shoes to Soles4Souls, you are directly contributing to our mission of turning shoes and clothing into opportunity. We provide relief through shoe distribution to those in need and create jobs in developing countries through our micro-enterprise program. Your generosity helps us continue our work in providing shoes, creating jobs, and offering relief in times of need. Thank you for your support!

Can S4S provide a dollar value of my used shoe/clothing donation for tax purposes?

Unfortunately, the IRS rules around this are very strict and do not allow us, the nonprofit, to place a value on your donations. It is up to the donor to assign a value to the product that they are donating.
