Congratulations to the Bee Organized team on your 9th anniversary! We loved being a part of the celebration. With your TOTAL donation of 3174 Pairs of shoes and $1,500 Bee Organized has diverted 3967.50 pounds of textiles from going to local landfills, reducing the environmental impact of these unwanted shoes and extending their lifespan. In countries like Haiti and Honduras, your donation can provide 1 MONTH of consistent, quality food, housing and education for 3 FAMILIES! THANK YOU!

Leading into #ClimateWeek2024, the Footwear Distributors and Retailers of America (FDRA) hosted an insightful #SustainabilitySummit focused on "Rethinking (and Reforming) Your Regulation Strategy." It was a chance to learn alongside Buddy Teaster and Stephanie Whitmore and reconnect with great friends! The event brought together top experts already leading the charge on sustainability, providing critical insights into new regulations coming online in both Europe and the U.S. and what steps businesses need to take to prepare and execute. Panel Highlights: 🌍 **Peter Erren CEO Erren Recondition and Soles4Souls Europe board member 🌍 **Noel Kinder**, Former CSO, Nike Inc. 🌍 **Matt Priest**, President & CEO, FDRA, and Soles4Souls Board Emeritus Keynote Speaker: 🎤 **Dr. Kate White** (Sr. Associate Dean, Sauder School of Business, UBC) tackled one of our industry's biggest challenges: consumers often say they want sustainable products but rarely purchase them. Her insights on shifting consumer behavior were invaluable. Panel on Rethinking Strategies: Industry leaders discussed how they are aligning their strategies with emerging regulations, company goals, and consumer expectations, all while maintaining agility and staying within budget. Panelists: 🔗 **Kristen Bandurski Sustainability Program Manager, Red Wing Shoe Co.🔗 **Deanna Bratter**, VP, Global Head of Sustainability, Crocs, Inc.🔗 **Alyse Russel**, Senior Manager, Global Sustainability Programs, VF CorporationModerator: 🎤 **Katie O’Hara**, Director of Account Management, Dynamic Foam Thanks to all who made this event impactful! Let’s continue driving progress in sustainable practices across the footwear and retail industries. A huge SHOUTOUT to the 2024 Portland Brews & Shoes Attendees! You all raised $5,000 for Soles4Souls!! #Leadership #ClimateAction #RetailTransformation

When you donate shoes to Soles4Souls, they are put to work in our 4Opportunity program. In this program, Soles4Souls works with vetted partners in low income countries to help entrepreneurs start and grow businesses that sell donated shoes and clothing. Your donated shoes are helping provide an opportunity for entrepreneurs to step out of poverty.
