Soles for Survivors: Our 2026 Shoe Drive Fundraiser is Underway!

Last year, our community showed up in an incredible way. Together, supporters, businesses, schools, churches, and community organizations collected more than 1,000 pairs of shoes through our Soles for Survivors Shoe Drive.

What started as a simple idea became a powerful demonstration of what can happen when people come together to support survivors of domestic violence.

Now, we're excited to announce that Soles for Survivors is back!

From July 1 through August 31, Our 3 Memorial Foundation will once again collect new and gently used shoes of all sizes and styles to raise funds that support our mission of educating communities, empowering individuals, and helping survivors build safer futures.

How It Works

Through our partnership with Funds2Orgs, the shoes collected during our drive are exchanged for funds based on the total weight of the donations received. Those funds help support the work of Our 3 Memorial Foundation throughout the year, including community education initiatives, survivor empowerment programs, scholarships, resource outreach, and awareness efforts.

But the impact doesn't stop there.

Donated shoes are redistributed through a network of micro-enterprise partners around the world, creating economic opportunities for individuals and families in communities where jobs and resources may be limited. Every pair of shoes donated creates a ripple effect of hope locally and globally.

How You Can Help

There are several ways to get involved:

👟 Donate Shoes - Clean out your closets and donate new or gently used shoes of any size or style.

👟 Become a Collection Box Host - Host a donation box at your business, church, school, workplace, or organization.

👟 Organize a Mini Drive - Invite friends, coworkers, neighbors, or community groups to collect shoes together.

👟 Spread the Word - Share our social media posts, tell your friends and family, and help us reach even more people this year.

Our Goal

Last year, we collected more than 1,000 pairs of shoes. This year, we're aiming even higher.

Every pair donated helps us continue creating opportunities for education, awareness, advocacy, and empowerment in communities across Mississippi.
