Nashville-based Soles4Souls(TM) facilitates the donations of both new and used shoes, which are used to aid the hurting worldwide. Soles4Souls has distributed more than 5 million pairs (currently donating one pair every 13 seconds) to people in over 125 countries, including Honduras, Uganda, Romania, and the United States.

And also in the spirit of being eco friendly, this shoe drive a great way to recycle shoes to benefit others. If you’re like me, with an extensive shoe collection, you have at least a couple pair of gently worn shoes that would greatly benefit Soles4Souls.
