Join us this National Shoe The World Day to give those in need a better future - donate your gently used shoes and make a difference!
Get ready to celebrate National Shoe The World Day on March 15! This day was created in 2012 as a way to raise awareness and provide shoes for those who do not have access to them. It’s estimated that 300 million children around the world lack proper footwear, so this day is incredibly important. Millions of people come together every year to donate new or gently used pairs of shoes and take action against poverty, disease, and illiteracy through the power of giving.
Support those in need by donating shoes to a charity or organization that serves disadvantaged communities. You can also check with local homeless shelters, schools and churches to see if they are accepting donations.
Organize a shoe drive at your workplace, school, church or community center. Ask everyone to bring in gently used shoes and donate them to those in need. You can also partner with a local charity to help distribute the shoes.
Search online for local volunteer opportunities related to shoes. Many charities and organizations offer programs where volunteers can help collect and distribute shoes to people in need.
If you have the budget, go out and buy some new shoes! Shopping for shoes is always fun and you can use this as an opportunity to support small businesses in your community.
Encourage creativity by hosting an art contest where participants create art inspired by shoes. Ask people to submit their artwork online or hold an event where submissions can be displayed.
National Shoe The World Day is an annual event where we donate shoes to people living in poverty around the world. This day offers a chance to provide children and families with something as basic, yet important, as a comfortable pair of shoes.
Getting a new pair of shoes can make all the difference in protecting feet from disease or injury. With adequate foot protection, children are able to safely take part in physical activities that benefit their physical health and emotional wellbeing.
By taking part in National Shoe The World Day, we are helping create a lasting, positive impact on the lives of people who may not have access to basic items like footwear. We can help ensure everyone gets the opportunity to walk in comfort and stand proudly among their peers!
