Soles4Souls: Creating Opportunities For People Through Shoes and Clothing
At Soles4Souls, we create opportunities for people through shoes and clothing. Through our four global programs—4Opportunity, 4Relief, 4EveryKid, and Solutions4Good—we help people step out of poverty, recover from crisis, get back to school, and protect our planet.
Our work supports economic opportunity, educational access, physical health, and emotional well-being. Since 2006, we've distributed more than 107 million pairs of shoes and pieces of clothing to individuals and communities in 139 countries, including right here in Texas.
The Need Is Right Here In Texas
More than 29,000 children in the Dallas-Fort Worth area are experiencing homelessness. For them, something as simple as a new pair of shoes can make a life-changing difference.
A good pair of shoes helps a child show up with confidence, stay active, and attend school more consistently. It’s more than a basic need—it’s a doorway to opportunity.
Just $20 provides a brand new pair of shoes to a child in our local community through our 4EveryKid program.
The Local Impact We've Made Together
With the help of supporters like you, Soles4Souls has already provided 36,187 students in Texas with brand new shoes—giving them the confidence and comfort they need to thrive.
But our impact goes beyond kids.
In 2024 alone, we’ve also diverted over 280,260 pairs of shoes and clothing from Texas landfills—helping reduce waste and extend the life of goods that still have so much to give.
With every dollar you give, you're helping Soles4Souls create lasting change for people and the planet—right here in Texas and around the world.
Soles4Souls creates opportunity for people through shoes and clothing.
To help achieve this vision, our strategy focuses on philanthropic investments that create inclusive and sustainable solutions to turn shoes and clothing into opportunities.
It is through our work together that we are able to disrupt the cycle of poverty around the world and in our own backyards.
