Walking with Our Community
— Every Step of the Way
From local events to charitable giving, we believe in giving back to Mount Dora.
Because a Stronger Community Means Happier Feet — and Hearts
At Becker’s Best Shoes, we believe that comfort shouldn’t stop at your feet. It should extend to how you feel about the place you live and the people around you. We’re more than a small business — we’re a neighbor, a friend, and a part of the Mount Dora story.
We’ve seen firsthand how powerful community can be. Whether it’s delivering shoes to hospital staff who spend long days on their feet, collecting gently used pairs for local families in need, or showing up at downtown events and fundraisers, we believe that every small act of support makes a difference.
Our customers have helped us grow — not just as a store, but as a force for good. That’s why we’re committed to giving back in meaningful ways. Because when people feel seen, supported, and valued, they walk taller — and our whole community walks stronger.
Who We Work With
Giving back isn’t something we do once in a while — it’s woven into the fabric of Becker’s Best Shoes. We’re proud to work with a range of community partners who share our passion for helping people feel their best, starting from the ground up.
Here are just a few of the organizations and initiatives we support:
First Baptist Church of Mount Dora
We’ve teamed up with this local church to collect gently used shoes that go directly to individuals and families in our community. Every donated pair gets a second life — and helps someone else take a step forward.
Funds2Orgs
As an official drop-off location for this global nonprofit, we collect and donate new and used shoes for people in need — locally and around the world. So far, our customers have helped donate thousands of pairs.
Mount Dora Chamber of Commerce & Local Events
We’re active members of the Mount Dora Chamber and proud supporters of the town’s art festivals, craft fairs, and holiday celebrations. Whether it’s sponsoring an event or simply showing up, we love being part of what makes downtown special.
School Drives, Nonprofits & Fundraisers
From collecting items for school supply drives to participating in local silent auctions, we’re always open to supporting causes that bring relief, joy, or opportunity to someone in need.
Current Spotlight: Give Shoes. Give Hope.
Right now, we’re collecting new and gently used shoes to support Soles4Souls, a nonprofit organization that turns unwanted footwear into opportunity. Your donated shoes help create jobs, provide relief, and restore dignity for people in need — both here in Florida and around the world.
At Becker’s Best Shoes, we believe everyone deserves to walk in comfort. That’s why we’re proud to be a drop-off location for Soles4Souls, making it easy for our customers to give back.
Whether it’s a pair you no longer wear or something your child has outgrown, every donation matters. Shoes in good condition can be life-changing — and you might be surprised at how many you already have in your closet, ready to help someone else take a step forward.
How to Donate:
- Bring your gently used shoes (any size or style) to our Mount Dora location during store hours
- Place them in our donation bin or hand them to a team member
- We’ll take care of the rest — sorting, packing, and getting them to people who need them most
A Look Back at the Good We’ve Done Together
Have a Local Cause We Should Know About?
We’re always looking for ways to give back — and we know that some of the best ideas come from the people who walk through our doors.
If you’re part of a local nonprofit, school, church, or community group doing meaningful work, we’d love to hear from you. Whether it’s a fundraiser, donation drive, or volunteer opportunity, we’re open to supporting causes that help Mount Dora — and the people in it — walk a little easier.
Let’s work together to make good things happen, one step at a time.
