Shoes for the Homeless, Inc.

About Us

Our mission is to provide shoes to the homeless and to those in need, free of charge, in our local communities. We collect new and lightly-used men’s, women’s, and children’s shoes from various sources throughout Culver City and beyond. Walking is often the only means of transportation for the homeless – without adequate shoes mobility is severely limited. In addition to providing comfort and protection from the environment, shoes help prevent a variety of foot related medical ailments. Having a good pair of shoes often results in an enhanced quality of life and improved self-confidence. In some cases this has led to employment and bettered living conditions. We envision a future in which every homeless man, woman and child has a good pair of shoes that will help give them the confidence to take the next step forward in their lives. We organize shoe drives, donation events and volunteer opportunities.
