PARTNERSHIP WITH SOLES4SOULS TO PROVIDE FOOTWEAR FOR THOSE IN NEED
DECATUR, Texas, May 15, 2023 – In response to the tumultuous natural disaster across Turkey and Syria and the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, the team at Twisted X® is proud to partner with Soles4Souls to support disaster relief efforts.
Twisted X, a Twisted X Global Brands company, supplied more than 15,000 pairs of men’s, women’s, and youth footwear to Soles4Souls with a retail value of $1 million. Product donations are sorted by Soles4Souls and transported to vetted nonprofit organizations on the ground to ensure entire communities have access to the essential items.
“At Twisted X, compassion is one of our highest priorities and we feel a strong sense of urgency to take action and assist communities in need however we can,” said Prasad Reddy, CEO of Twisted X. “Our partnership with Soles4Souls allows us to provide footwear essentials in the hopes of restoring even a small sense of normalcy to those in need during times of turmoil.”
Since 2005, Twisted X® has created comfortable handcrafted footwear collections in western, work, outdoor, and lifestyle categories. The humanitarian-focused footwear brand takes a holistic approach to its commitment to sustainability, philanthropy, and partnerships.
“Soles4Souls has a long history of responding in times of crisis and the devastation occurring right now around the world is troubling” said Buddy Teaster, president and CEO of Soles4Souls. “Providing essentials like footwear and clothing is critical for people unexpectantly forced from their homes and cities in the wake of disaster. We are proud to work with Twisted X to provide direct relief to those affected.”
Twisted X previously partnered with Soles4Soles in 2022 to provide over 16,000 pairs of shoes for Ukrainian relief efforts. In 2021, the brand partnered with Two Ten Footwear to donate footwear for the Share Your Shoes Program that benefited individuals affected by natural disasters.
