Out of many companies that give back TOMS is one big foundation that is improving lives every single day. From giving out shoes, eye exams, safe water, safe birth, and bullying response programs. With every purchase that is made one for one continues to grow on giving the ones in need. Toms get a large number of customers from social media like Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and even Youtube to inspire us to buy one to give one. Youtube provides ads before videos to promote the one for one project. In the article, “60 million pairs and 10 years: Toms Shoes founder reflects” the authors Marcela Isaza and Lenne Italie mention, how 60 million pairs of shoes have been given away.
Marcela and Lenne also mentioned that Toms operates in more than 75 counties, including Syrian refugee camps in Jordan and China where many people are provided with shoes. Something interesting about the company that was also mentioned in the article was how they got their name. TOMs come from the phrase “Sell a pair of shoes today and give away a pair tomorrow” where “tomorrow” is shortened to TOMS. In Conclusion, Toms has made a big difference in many peoples lives all over the world. Keeping children out barefoot feet, bad vision, and dirty water.
