👟 Where to donate shoes in Massachusetts
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.
