At Brentano, we believe that giving back is an integral part of the holiday season—and this year, we were thrilled to partner with Soles4Souls, a nonprofit dedicated to turning unwanted shoes and clothing into opportunities for people in need. In the spirit of community and generosity, Brentano employees came together to collect donations of gently used shoes and clothing, which will help provide relief, create jobs, and empower individuals to break the cycle of poverty.
A Successful Collection Campaign
Brentano’s team rallied together to collect over 50 pairs of shoes and 180 articles of clothing during our holiday season kickoff. These donations will be sent to Soles4Souls, where they will be distributed to individuals and communities in need across the globe. Through Soles4Souls’ programs, these items will not only help provide immediate relief but will also support economic empowerment by creating job opportunities in communities that need them the most.
Why Soles4Souls?
Soles4Souls works by collecting new and gently used shoes and clothing, which are then either distributed directly to those in need or sold to fund sustainability programs, including micro-enterprise development and job creation. Their mission is simple but powerful: to turn shoes and clothing into opportunity. Since its founding, Soles4Souls has distributed over 40 million pairs of shoes and clothing items around the world.
Making a Difference, Together
The collection drive is just one example of Brentano’s ongoing commitment to corporate social responsibility. Each year, we strive to find ways to make a positive impact on the communities we serve, and our partnership with Soles4Souls is a reflection of that commitment.
We’re inspired by the way our employees came together to support this cause, and we hope that others will be encouraged to take similar action in their own communities. Whether it’s donating gently used clothing, volunteering time, or supporting organizations like Soles4Souls financially, there are countless ways to make a difference.
