$5 dollars makes a huge difference!

If everyone who sent a pair of shoes sent $5 dollars this would make sure the shoes got to Haiti. Sometimes people pass on donating because they can not give a lot. Every little bit helps. $5 could put shoes on a child's feet. One less value meal can get shoes to a needy family, donate TODAY.

Shoes don't fly, Please donate NOW.

We have received over 30,000 pairs of shoes in the last 14 days, thank you so much for your contributions. One small problem... none of the shoes have wings and we have not received nearly enough in donations to get them washed, packaged and flown over to Haiti. Please send cash with shoes, we have to clean and ship every pair. (THERE IS A DONATE BUTTON AT THE TOP) You can do it right now, it will only take a minute. Any and all donations will be greatly appreciated by us and the families in Haiti who do not even have a roof over their heads. Again thank you so much for the shoes, PLEASE make a donation today and help us get them there.

  • Share Your Soles is a non-profit organization 501(c)(3). Our mission is simple: To provide gently worn shoes to those in greatest need around the world. Our volunteer network is flourishing. We have touched the hearts of hundreds of thousands, and volunteers in more than 30 states have organized shoe drives and special events providing us the support necessary to put shoes on the soles of children and adults in the most impoverished areas of the world. Share Your Soles is not affiliated with any government, church, political group or other organization. We are a growing group of people who think it's all pretty simple: by giving whatever you can, maybe just an hour or two each month, it's easy to become involved and change the world. Share Your Soles is always looking for people interested in making a difference. Please consider taking a minute to volunteer or contribute online - One dollar buys detergent that washes 1 load (30 pairs of shoes), Ten dollars pays for the packaging of 50 pairs of shoes. Make it a family, school or church project. Take a minute or two to see all the recent media coverage or our travel facts about all the place our soles travel. And remember, it's not all about the shoes.

    Upcoming programs for 2010

    1st Sunday of every month we will be open 11:00 am – 3:00 pm for Synagogues and Jewish communities. Contact us for more details.

    Once a month, a featured guest from one of the many countries Share Your Soles supports will have a presentation. We encourage volunteers to come and get introduced to a sampling of their ethnic food, hear a story of their lives, and participate in question/answer time.
