FLIP FLOP to the WORLD (formerly Flip Flop to Nigeria) was founded in 2012 by the then national reigning Miss Plus America Elite, Spruce Dickerson;  collecting NEW flip flop donations to distribute in Nigeria in order to provide protection for their feet from disease and infections.  Not only this, but it was Spruce's heart to want to encourage those less fortunate with hope​ and love.

​

With the re-branding and restructure of the charity in 2017; the focus, mission, and heart stayed the same.... just new logistics.  The territory of this charity has been expanded to the world, so every year, there will be a different Country of Focus for the annual flip flop collection.

​

The collection campaign is held from June 1 - August 31 annually, with donations received from throughout the United States.  The support of local Central Texas businesses hosting Collection Barrels, and community collection efforts including Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, schools, sororities, churches, and pageants drive the campaign to success every year!

Not only are NEW flip flops needed, but monetary love gifts as well; in order to ship the annual collection to its designated country.

Collection Barrel Host locations are posted on the website and on the Facebook page. Feel free to swing by and drop your new flip flops in any of the Collection Barrels; and before you do, take a picture with your flip flops and email to Flip Flop Headquarters. This picture will be attached to many pairs of flip flops so the recipient can see a beautiful, smiling face of someone who loves them! ♥

Thank you!
