Your support helps put thoughtfully designed, essential clothing into the hands and onto the feet of those in need. Here’s how.

Essential Clothing Items

We make and donate the #1, #2 and #3 most requested items in homeless shelters.

 

One Purchased = One Donated

Our network of 3,500+ Giving Partners helps us distribute an item for every item you purchase.

 

100 Million Items Donated

That's 100 million acts of human kindness, made possible by customers like you.

 

One Mission, Many Communities

Our 3,500+ Giving Partners make meaningful change in their communities. The donations made possible by your purchases directly support a variety of organizations, including:

Overnight Shelters

Transitional Living Facilities

Street Outreach Teams

Rehabilitation Centers

Title 1 Schools

Medical Service Professionals

Our Donation Process

Your orthopedic-shoe.shop purchase kickstarts an infrastructure of giving that gets product in the hands of those who need it.

1. You Buy, We Get to Work

For every item you purchase, we add to our total items donated tally and get to work purchasing fabrics, booking factory time, and all the other steps that go into making clothing. To date, customers like you have allowed us to donate over 100 million essential clothing items.

2. We Check In With Our Giving Partners

We give ourselves a 12-month lead time to distribute each donation from the time of purchase, allowing us to gauge the real-time needs (sizes, styles, and quantities) of Giving Partners and the individuals they serve.

3. The Clothing Items are Distributed

We distribute the donation items to our Giving Partners, who get them into the hands of those who need them most.

The socks, shirts, and underwear we make for donation have thoughtful features, such as:

 

  • An antimicrobial treatment extends wearability between washes.

  • Versatile sizing to fit a wide range of body types.

  • Darker colors, to show less visible wear.
