At Clothes To Kids of Denver, we give away over 12,000 pairs of shoes in a year! We can't do this without strong community support. A Kicks For Kids shoe drive is a great fit for businesses, schools, scout troops, sports teams, clubs, religious communities and service organizations wanting to make a BIG difference! Individuals are welcome to host one too with friends, neighbors, family or anyone else in your circle.
We accept many styles of shoes but no formal wear or flip flops. Shoe donations don't need to be new but do need to be in great condition, clean and ready to wear. If the soles are worn bare or there are holes or are dirty, please find another home for them. We accept shoe sizes from Youth 8 through adult size 17.
We have more details to share but here are the highlights...
1. Pick a timeframe that works for you.
2. Promote your drive by educating the community about what we do and why we need their help.
3. Create appealing collection bins that are well labeled and easily accessible.
4. Keep a tally of what you are collecting. It is fun to report back to your donors how much you have collected.
5. Make sure your donations meet our needs by removing items that are poor quality or not suitable for CTKD and direct them somewhere else.
6. Schedule a drop off time for your donations and deliver them to the CTKD store.
