As part of our annual Lantern Walk, the Tamarack Community also looks outside of itself to find ways to shine our light.

This year, we are requesting your donations of new or gently worn or used shoes.  We are partnering with an organization that helps keep the shoes out of landfills and helps micro-entrepreneurs worldwide! 
As a bonus, every pair you donate turns into funds to help Pathfinders.

Drop-off boxes will be located at:

• Tamarack Waldorf School ( in the basement and in the front of the office)

• Pathfinders (4200 N Holton St, Suite 400)

• Lifeways Milwaukee (3224 N. Gordon Pl.)

We are also looking for other locations to place drop boxes. Please check back for more locations.

Shoes will be accepted through January.

For more information, please reach out to Emily Peterson at Emily.Peterson@tamarackwaldorf.org or call the office at (414) 277-0009

See below for what type of shoe and clear guidelines on shoe conditions before you donate!

“Good shoes” are: Gently worn, used, and new shoes that are in good condition, clean, and still wearable!
