Coming alongside its nationwide drives to collect shoes, Soles4Souls announced in early 2010 the launch of its new charitable division. Clothes4Souls. Clothes4Souls collects new clothing from manufacturers, designers, retail partners and the general public. Now, people in San Diego will now have the opportunity to also donate their gently worn jeans to people in need, as part of the clothing drive hosted by the SDSU Sport Clubs.
"Our footprint is changing as we forge forward for the next five years," said Wayne Elsey, Founder and CEO of Soles4Souls. "We recognized the overwhelming need internationally and domestically for clothing and we are excited to offer the people of LOCATION an avenue to give back more than just footwear." he said.
People and companies interested in donating can visit the organization’s website at www.clothes4souls.org.
Soles4Souls is a Nashville-based charity that collects shoes from the warehouses of footwear companies and the closets of people like you.

The shoes have been distributed to people in over 125 countries. Soles4Souls has been featured in Runner's World, Ladies’ Home Journal, National Geographic’s Green Guide and The New York Times. It has appeared on CBS, ABC, NBC, FOX, BBC, CNN and thousands of regional news outlets across North America.
