If you haven’t heard of Tom’s Shoes they’re a shoe company based in the U.S.A. that donates a pair of shoes to improverished people for every pair that they sell. They’re pretty good looking shoes and starting to become very popular.

You might have seen the AT&T commerical featuring Tom’s Shoes:

What you might not know is that Tom’s Shoes also operates a non-profit subsidiary called Friends of TOMS. Friends of TOMS is working to fight Podoconiosis, a disease which can be cured by simply wearing shoes.

Here’s how you can help:

• Volunteer for a Shoe Drop
• Invest in a volunteer to participate on a Shoe Drop
• Provide general support for location scouting and volunteer coordination
• Provide necessary treatment(s) and custom boots for those affected by Podoconiosis
• Use GoodSearch.com for your search engine and they will donate to Friends of TOMS
• Donate

Of course, you can also help by buying a pair of shoes from Tom’s Shoes so that they donate another pair to someone in need.  Check out http://friendsoftoms.org/ for more info.
