Two Ten Footwear Foundation

At Two Ten, we have been lifting lives in the footwear industry for over 85 years. We believe in offering hope in hard times and opportunity to rise for those working in the footwear sector. Through our diverse programs, we aim to provide financial assistance, educational opportunities, and a sense of community for footwear families across the United States.

Our Programs

Our programs are designed to meet the needs of footwear families in various ways. Our Disaster Relief program offers emergency financial assistance to those affected by natural disasters. Our Hardship Relief program helps families experiencing personal hardship, such as the loss of a loved one or job displacement. We also provide counseling services, legal and financial consultations, life coaching, wellness, and work/life balance resources to support our community.

In addition to our emergency relief programs, we also offer educational opportunities to advance careers. Currently, this is open to women in footwear. We provide tuition assistance for employees or dependents enrolled in post-secondary programs. This is part of our commitment to empowering the footwear community through education and personal development.

We believe that everyone should have access to these resources, which is why we also offer our Estamos Aqui Para Ayudar program. This program provides financial assistance, employee assistance, and educational grants to those who qualify and explains how to apply for these services.

Ways to Give

There are numerous ways for individuals and companies to support our mission. Corporate partnerships are an essential part of our fundraising efforts, as they allow us to continue providing critical services to the footwear community. We also welcome individual giving, as every donation helps us make a difference in the lives of footwear families. We are grateful to our annual and multi-year donors who share our vision for the industry.

In addition to monetary donations, we also accept excess inventory through our Share Your Shoes program. This program allows us to generate critical funding for footwear families in need. We encourage everyone to get involved and contribute in any way they can to support our mission.
