KICKS FOR HAITI

Our popular and very successful grassroots program that provides sneakers, socks, basketballs, and local worker grant money directly to Haitian youth and adults.
Our Kicks For Haiti program has been going strong since 2019. Through the generous donations of our supporters, we collect, process, and ship new and used sneakers to our local partners on the ground in Haiti for distribution to the community. New socks and basketballs are also collected and delivered as part of each drive. In a country where the basic necessities of life can be difficult to obtain for many, our old fashioned sneaker drives provide direct and immediate positive impact on people's lives. To date, we have delivered hundreds of pairs of sneakers into the country. We also allocate grant money to each shipment that is used to pay local workers to unpack, clean, and hand-out shoes to those most in need. This helps provide much needed basic income earning opportunities for people and maximizes the impact of the program. Statistics for this program can be found below along with our Program FAQ.

Please note, at this time we are not accepting shoes for donation. We anticipate running another sneaker drive in the second quarter of 2024. Check back here or follow us on social media to stay informed.

PROGRAM FAQ

Find the answers to all your questions about this Program in the boxes below. If you still haven't found what you are looking for, reach out to us and we'll be happy to help.

Are you currently accepting sneaker donations?

No. At this time we are not accepting delivery of new or used shoes. Our donation window is currently closed given our current backlog of shoes. We expect to announce another sneaker drive in Q2 of 2023.

What kind of shoes do you accept?

We are asking that only basketball shoes be donated. We may expand this in the future to include running shoes, or other footwear, but given storage constraints, that is not possible at this time. 

What kind of condition shoes will you accept?

Well worn shoes are accepted, but damaged, ripped, or torn goods should not be sent. New shoes are always welcome and very much appreciated. Just use common sense. 

What size shoes do you accept?

We accept toddler, youth, and adult sized basketball sneakers. As long as the shoes you plan to donate meets our condition requirements, we will take them. 

DONATIONS ARE TAX-DEDUCTIBLE. GIVE TODAY AND CHANGE A LIFE.
