Organize a Shoe Drive

Help Us Walk With More People

You don’t need a big budget to make a big impact. Organizing a shoe drive is a powerful way to engage your community while helping us serve neighbors in need across Aurora and the Denver Metro area.

Whether you're a school, business, church, or individual—we’ll help you every step of the way.

What to Collect

We accept new:

  • Shoes (all sizes and genders)
  • Socks (adult, youth and toddler)
  • Shoelaces (bonus!)

Please note: We do not accept used shoes. Dignity starts with something new.
