Millions of children are barefoot today and may never have a pair of shoes without your help. Shoes protect children from injury and disease, which leads to the death of a person every 15 seconds somewhere in the world. To us in America they are mostly seen as a fashion statement, but the shoes you raise may be life of death for a child. The new shoes you raise will be distributed along with a new pair of socks. A volunteer will tenderly wash the feet of the recipients and share with them a story of hope. Children will be challenged to dream big dreams and believe that they can achieve wonderful things for themselves and contribute to the good of all mankind, just as the little Nigerian boy has done in establishing Samaritan's Feet.

It all starts with shoe drives...
YOU make it POSSIBLE!

What Do I Do?

Step 1  Sign up to host a shoe drive
      See the bottom of this page to get started. Once your information is received, a representative will contact you to discuss the next step.
Step 2  Let us talk you through your shoe drive
      Samaritan's Feet staff will provide you with the information you need to make the most of your shoe drive. The opportunities and possibilities are endless!
Step 3  Select your shoe drive dates
        Generally shoe drives take place over a four-week period. We have found shoe drives can be more effective when coupled with local or sporting events, festivals or other fundraisers.
Step 4  Promote your shoe drive
           Samaritan's Feet will provide you with brochures, fliers and other literature you may need to spread the word about what you are doing. See how Susie Herges raised 4,123 pairs of shoes!
Step 5  Host your shoe drive
           Collect new athletic shoes from friends, neighbors, co-workers, family and other acquaintances. Samaritan's Feet has found children's sizes 10 - 4 to be the most critical need.
Step 6  Pack and ship the shoes
           You may ship your shoes to Samaritan's Feet headquaters in Charlotte, NC, or use a local drop-off location (if available). Let us know if you are interested in distributing the shoes in your area!
