Give Your Shoes New Life

Support the Annual Shoe Drive and Make a Difference with New Visions Homeless Services

New Visions Homeless Services, founded in 1995, works to eliminate hunger and homelessness in Council Bluffs and surrounding areas. The organization offers emergency shelter, supportive housing, food security, and other vital services to individuals and families facing homelessness, including U.S. veterans. Thanks to the support and collaboration with NP Dodge Real Estate, New Visions is hosting its Annual Shoe Drive from March 1 to March 31. This community effort provides a way for people to donate shoes that will either be given to local shelters, sent to underdeveloped countries, or recycled, helping both people in need and the environment.

What’s the Shoe Drive All About?

The goal is simple: collect gently used or even worn-out shoes from anyone and everyone in the community. Whether it’s from your own closet, your family, friends, neighbors, or colleagues, we’re asking you to donate shoes to help those who are less fortunate. Shoes don’t have to be in perfect condition—what matters is that we keep them out of landfills and give them a second life. 

How to Participate

Donating is easy! Simply drop off your shoes at NP Dodge Real Estate at 1032 Woodbury Avenue, Council Bluffs. Whether you’ve got a pair of boots you never wear or shoes that have seen better days, they’ll be put to good use. You can even get creative and involve others—encourage friends, family, clients, and agents from other firms to join in and make a bigger impact.

Why Your Shoes Matter

This year’s shoe drive is more than just about shoes—it’s about making a meaningful difference in people’s lives. Whether you donate a few pairs or a whole collection, your contribution helps people facing difficult times. Every pair of shoes collected will comfort someone in need or be sent to communities in need overseas. It's a simple way to clean out your closet while giving back in a meaningful way!

So, don’t throw those old shoes away! Bring them to NP Dodge Real Estate in Council Bluffs and join a movement that cares for people in need.

Join Us in Supporting Our Community

Together, we can make a real difference. By donating your shoes this March, you’re helping New Visions Homeless Services continue its mission to provide life-changing support for those facing homelessness. Your participation matters, and with your help, we can keep more shoes out of landfills and provide comfort and dignity to those in need.

Thank you for your support—let’s make this year’s shoe drive a success!
