👟 Where to donate shoes in Maryland
Gently worn shoes go to people who need them, at home and abroad. Many drop-off sites and shoe charities take every style and size.
Before you go Shoes with holes, mold or broken soles should be recycled, not donated. Tie or rubber-band pairs together so they stay matched. Clean off mud and dirt before you drop them off. Some drop-off sites limit how many pairs you can bring at once.
