Giving Back

Abbadabba’s is dedicated to giving back to the local and global community we live in. Below are just a few of the organizations we have partnered with to fulfill this mission.

Partnership Against Domestic Violence (PADV)

In July 2010, we teamed with Yaleet, Inc., distributor of NAOT shoes, to donate $18,000 of new NAOT shoes to domestic violence survivors living in safe houses run by the Partnership Against Domestic Violence (PADV).

Janice Abernethy and Bill Carmichael, owners of Abbadabba’s, fit the residents with shoes and left additional shoes for women and teens who will reside in the shelters in the future.

Soles4Souls:

We have donated thousands of shoes through our participation in the Soles4Souls program. This charity collects shoes and distributes them free of charge to people in need throughout the world.

Since 2005, Soles4Souls has given away over 12 million pairs of new and gently worn shoes (currently donating one pair every 7 seconds). We invite you to leave your gently worn shoes in the Soles4Souls donation box at any of our store locations.

Upper Chattahoochee Riverkeeper:

We have partnered with the Upper Chattahoochee Riverkeeper through monetary and in-kind donations. This important organization is dedicated to protecting the Chattahoochee River Basin in order to restore and preserve its ecological health for the people, fish and wildlife that depend on it.

Neighborhood Schools:

Managers at each of our five store locations support their neighborhood schools through ongoing donations. These gifts help the schools raise money which is used to enhance each student’s learning experience.
