Soles4Souls turns unwanted shoes and clothing into opportunity by keeping them from going to waste and putting them to good use.

Donate your shoes to Soles4Souls. Pre-loved shoes will be sold to entrepreneurs in developing countries like Haiti, Honduras, Sierra Leone and the Philippines to start roadside shoe shops or market stalls.  These micro-enterprises generate sustainable employment and income for local communities; a powerful way to lift individuals and their families out of poverty. Donating something which would otherwise have been thrown in the bin also helps to reduce landfill.

Clear out your cupboards and let’s make lots more happy feet! Help keep shoes out of landfills and help realise the power of a pair of shoes to thousands of people all over the world. Find a drop-off locaton near you or ship them for free.

Give shoes!

Haze-Free Foodstand is a PM Haze campaign that promotes the use of sustainable or 'haze-free' palm oil.

Palm oil is used in 90% of eateries in Singapore and it is the most efficient crop in the world. But very few use certified palm oil that is cultivated using sustainable farming methods that preserve the environment and can say with certainty that they do not contribute to the haze.

Your food choice is your voice. Join with PM Haze and take a stand with sustainable palm oil, www.pmhaze.org/foodstand

COVID-19 is turning our lives upside down, and some people may feel stressed and anxious. Here is some advice from gov.sg on how you can cope:

Tips for Battling Stress and Anxiety during COVID-19

FOM Members Care Events and Volunteer Opportunities:

1. Should meaningfully contribute to our mission: support for Singapore’s heritage, local health & human services, and/or Singapore’s environmental contribution to a healthy planet.

2. Ideally, should be partnered with a Singapore-registered charity. (Events in many cases introduce the charity to a new audience. Therefore, it should represent the charity in such a way that it will encourage continued volunteer support.)

3. Should not include a registration fee nor a mandatory financial contribution to participate.

4. Should promote FOM community bonding.

5. Should be inclusive (ideally held on weekends or in the evening or in conjunction with an FOM event, and should not require advanced training.)

6. Should be FUN!
