Volunteer: Shoe Saver
Volunteer Project Description:
By hosting a shoe drive you can create community engagement, provide new opportunities for those in need AND give back to the environment. All you have to do is rally everyone you know to clean out their closets and donate their used shoes. You will pick them up from them or have places for them to drop-off. We have branded S4S boxes you are welcome to use and place (with the place’s permission) at your office, church, library, school, local business, grocery store, etc. When you finish collecting, you will bring them to the Soles4Souls Regional Donation Center in Richmond, VA. At this point you have completed your drive.
About Our Mission:
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.
Here are the steps for conducting a shoe drive: Register to host a shoe drive for a specific period of time and with a goal in mind. I would bring/send you a collection box or you can come pick it up. You line this with a hefty duty garbage bag and replace as it gets full. Try to find people-facing locations to host boxes for you if you prefer. I can help you with this! Communicate your drive! This a link to different logos, images, etc that you can use. If you haven’t already, check out our YouTube channel for inspiration! There are also flyers attached. Optional: we can issue a press release and/or geo-targeted social media posts about your shoe drive. Take lots of pictures and share with me so I can feature your group’s efforts! Also, follow our local Facebook page here. Once the drive concludes, make sure all the pairs are rubber-banded together or laces are tied and the total amount is counted. You can drop them off one of our warehouses or bins in garbage bags! You will coordinate your drop-off time with me. One additional thing to note– every 20 pairs donated, counts as one hour of service plus all the time spent marketing your drive, collecting and preparing shoes and anything else relevant to your shoe drive!Impact: Here is the impact an entrepreneur can make with the sale of 1, 20 or 30 pairs of shoes: Organization: Soles4Souls
