Each winter, countless people experiencing homelessness face the cold without proper footwear. At Cross the Divide, we believe that something as simple as a good pair of shoes can provide comfort, dignity, and protection. That’s why we are calling on the community to step up for change and support our 2025 Annual Shoe Collection Drive.
How You Can Help
Every year, we set out to collect 150 pairs of shoes to support those in need, and you can make a difference by contributing in the following ways:
- Donate your used running or athletic shoes. There is a particular need for men’s size 8, but all sizes are welcome.
- Drop them off at Vice Coffee Shop in Craighall Park. Take a moment to enjoy a great cup of coffee while making a difference.
- Sponsor a new pair of shoes. For just R350, you can provide someone with a brand-new pair of shoes.
- Donate via SnapScan or EFT:

Making an Impact Together
We are thrilled to share that Play It Forward, a Johannesburg nonprofit organisation that collects sports equipment for sport loving kids who aren’t in a position to kit themselves out, has already donated 17 pairs of shoes. This generous contribution has set the momentum for the drive, and we invite you to help us reach our goal.
Your support can change lives—one step at a time. Join us in this effort to provide warmth and dignity to those in need. Let’s come together as a community and make a meaningful impact through the power of giving.
