Clean your Closet for International and Local Causes
- Support micro-enterprise vendors in developing countries
Your shoe donations support over 4,000 families of micro-enterprise partners, with the majority of them being women-owned. The micro-enterprise industry represents one of the most effective ways to lift many families out of poverty in devastated economies. Most people do not know that 70% of the global population uses repurposed shoes and clothing; that’s over 5 billion people! The shoes you donate serve as a philanthropic bridge to give people a hand-up, rather than just a hand-out.
- Support high school students and homelessness in North Texas
Your shoe donations support Rotary Foundation grants to help local high school students to develop life-long leadership skills and higher education. The shoes you donate will provide support, and help to those experiencing homelessnesss in North Texas.
