As the industry leader in repurposing sneakers, our mission at Sneakers4Good is simple—help runners use their sneakers for good. Did you know over 300 million people worldwide can’t afford shoes? That’s where Sneakers4Good comes in. We make it easy for your running club, retailer, marathon or gym to recycle old athletic shoes. We get your shoe donations into the hands of people around the world who need them most, all while giving money to your organization. It’s win-win for everyone!We got the idea for recycling shoes from our parent company, the leading shoe drive fundraising company in North America. What started as a small division within the social enterprise giant grew fast as demand from runners for our program exploded. Over the years, Sneakers4Good has grown to become the number one social enterprise for sneaker drive fundraisers in the United States.Sneakers4Good does more than get sneakers in the hands of people who need them most. It’s also a great way to raise funds for your organization or cause. We’ve helped organizations around the country repurpose and recycle sneakers to raise money for their goals. We have several programs that make it easy for your group to pick, startup and run a sneaker drive that’ll help you reach your targets.Our programs have a big impact on people, but a small impact on the planet. Over 300 million shoes are thrown away each year by Americans alone and discarded shoes can take 30 to 40 years to decompose. That means unless you recycled them, most sneakers from your lifetime are still laying in a landfill somewhere. With Sneakers4Good we give your old shoes a second life—this reduces the amount of harmful CO2 being released into the air and soil by old shoes as they decompose. That’s why working with Sneakers4Good is good for your group, your community, and the planet.

Soles4Souls was founded after the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami after Wayne witnessed the immense need for footwear around the world. There are estimated to be 300 million children that are shoeless because their families are too poor to afford footwear. Under Wayne’s leadership, Soles4Souls became one of the top 1% of nonprofit organizations in the United States. To date, Soles4Souls has distributed over 17 million pairs of shoes in 127 countries to victims of natural disasters and abject poverty. Wayne resigned Soles4Souls in early 2012 leaving it with a solid mission, strategy, team and balance sheet.
