Shoe Away Hunger
“Shoe Away Hunger” is a Minneapolis Metro community shoe drive campaign. Think of it as an eco-friendly way to keep shoes out of landfills, while supporting local efforts to provide hunger relief. All the shoes that are collected are turned into cash by selling “On a Shoe-string Budget.” So for every 1 pair of gently used footwear, the Shoe Away Hunger program is able to feed one person with up to 7 days of essential groceries.
It’s easy. Simply collect your used, gently-used footwear including sneakers, sports shoes, casual shoes, boots, flip flops, ice skates, etc. Encourage your friends, relatives and neighbors to do the same. Tie or band them together, place them bag and just drop them off at our neighborhood Schuler Shoes, located in Colonial Square, near Lund’s in Wayzata.
