Pump Up your productivity with some good, not so old fashion, fun team work! With a simple, no-cost Shoeman Water Projects shoe drive increase your organization’s community service, decrease landfill burdens, and save lives! Think of the great PR.  One pair of donated shoes serves two: a pair of shoes to provide affordable footwear and a cup of clean, fresh water. With a Shoeman Water Project business shoe drive kit, holding a shoe drive is as easy as tying your sneaker laces.

Start a Shoe Drive, It’s Simple:

  1. Let us know you’d like to have a shoe drive. Use the easy online form to request a shoe drive or cell phone drive kitemail or call 636-751-8197. You can schedule a kick-off presentation and a shoe pickup.
  2. We’ll send a kit with instructions, collection bags, and a yard sign.
  3. Announce your drive with our handy Downloads and start your shoe collecting mission!

SHOENap the Boss, It’s Fun and Easy:

  1. Discuss and get the permission of the boss  or other leader to SHOEnap their shoes overnight.
  2. Create a SHOEnap ransom note explaining the shoes will be held ransom until the ransom number of used and new shoes are donated (we suggest 10x the number of people in the building).
  3. Send us your ransom note along with the target day you would like us to pick up your shoes and we’ll send you a shoe collection kit. (email or call 636-751-8197.)
  4. On the planned day, SHOEnap the selected person’s shoes taking pictures or video taping the event and the shoes. The selected person must go without their shoes for the day making a visible, bare-foot statement about recycling shoes for water.
  5. As soon as the shoes have been SHOEnapped, post the ransom note, read it over the PA, send an organization wide email or announce it at a special event.

Consider being a drop-off site. Besides helping to create life saving water, think of all the good PR and foot traffic!
