Our Work

How we turn donated shoes into immediate help

Shelter Aid TX exists to make shoe donations simple to give and useful to receive. Our programs focus on direct delivery, partner requests, and consistent follow-through.

Shoe Donation Program

We collect new and gently used shoes and deliver them directly to shelter partners across Dallas-Fort Worth.

  • All sizes are welcome, including men's, women's, and children's shoes.
  • Donations are sorted by size and type so shelters can quickly match needs.

Essential Items Support

When shelter partners request it, we coordinate additional essentials alongside shoes, such as clothing and basic care items.

  • We focus on items shelters specifically ask for.
  • Shoes remain the priority, and essentials are coordinated based on partner need.

Needs-Based Partnerships

We work directly with shelters to understand what is needed right now, then collect and deliver accordingly.

  • Shelter requests guide what we collect.
  • We prioritize quality and practical sizing over volume alone.
