SM is expanding its Share Shoes program this October through the SM Store to commemorate the 100th birth anniversary of its founder, Henry “Tatang” Sy Sr. This year, the program will provide new shoes to 20,000 students across 100 public schools, up from last year’s 16,000 students in 80 schools.
Customers of SM Store can contribute to the initiative. With a minimum purchase of PHP3,000 in a single receipt, shoppers can sponsor a pair of shoes for just PHP100. The program is coordinated with 100 partner organizations nationwide.

“Many Filipino children still lack even the basic necessities like proper footwear,” according to a 2023 report from the Philippine Institute for Developmental Studies, highlighting poverty as a key barrier to education.
SM Store invites customers to be part of this impactful initiative, giving hope and support to underprivileged students. A simple act of sponsoring shoes can create a lasting difference in their lives.
