GIVING BACK

Tradehome's Commitment to Volunteering & Community Impact

For over a century, Tradehome Shoes has thrived thanks to the support of our local communities. In recent years, we've encouraged our team to give back through volunteerism, reflecting our commitment to building stronger relationships with the neighborhoods we serve.


At Tradehome Shoes, we understand the difference even small acts of kindness can make. We recognize the power of giving back, not only through our products and services but through our employees' time and talents. That's why we've created a culture where volunteering is encouraged and celebrated. Whether it's working with local food banks or participating in environmental clean-ups, our employees can choose causes that resonate with their values.


With so many local organizations in need, there is no shortage of opportunities for our team members to get involved. This flexibility ensures that every volunteer experience is meaningful and aligned with our employees' passions, skills, and availability. Our goal is to empower each member of the Tradehome family to make a difference, no matter how big or small.

We are incredibly proud of how our employees contribute to the community, and we invite you to check out some of their inspiring volunteer experiences. By giving back, we strengthen the fabric of our communities—and continue to build a brighter future for all.

Back-to-School Bash

Tradehome Shoes, in partnership with the Minnesota Vikings, recently hosted its third annual back-to-school event for local foster children. Over 1,000 children received essential school supplies, including shoes, backpacks, and socks. A dedicated team of Tradehome Shoes employees volunteered alongside Vikings players and staff to make this event successful. We are honored to support this meaningful initiative and contribute to a positive impact on the lives of children in our community.

Candyland Christmas

Tradehome Shoes proudly participated in an extraordinary Christmas celebration hosted by Vikings legend Cris Carter, benefiting local families in need. The event, organized by The Salvation Army Northern Division, brought together hundreds of children and their families for a festive afternoon filled with fun activities, gifts, and a special appearance by Carter himself. As part of their commitment to giving back, Tradehome donated shoes, socks, and toys to ensure that every family had a joyful holiday season. Tradehome Shoes is honored to have been included in this heartwarming initiative, helping spread holiday cheer and making a meaningful impact on families within the region.

The Home Office team, along with their loved ones, recently volunteered their time at Feed My Starving Children to make a significant impact in the fight against hunger. Together, they helped pack an impressive 19,872 meals that will go toward feeding children in need around the world. This volunteer event was a powerful reminder of the importance of giving back to those in need, and Tradehome Shoes is proud to have contributed to such a meaningful cause.

MINNESOTA WILD

MN Wild + Dinomites + Boys & Girls Club

We’ve been proud to have partnered with the Minnesota Wild, DinoMights, and the Boys and Girls Club to give back to our community. Through this collaboration, we donated winter boots to local kids, ensuring they stay warm all season. It was a pleasure to see them enjoy the game and get fitted for boots that will keep them cozy all winter long.
