Our Impact

From our single, pass-the-hat collection of a few dollars to help one footwear worker and his family avoid eviction from their apartment in 1939, to the $1.4 million in emergency financial support that prevented 610 evictions, kept the heat and lights on for 161 footwear families, and much more in 2021 — Two Ten is committed to lifting up the lives of footwear employees in crisis.

 

Community Stories

Over the years, we have impacted the lives of thousands of clients, scholars, donors and leaders in the footwear industry; each one of them has an amazing story to tell. We invite you to tell us how Two Ten has impacted your life.
