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.
