Giving Back to Our Community
A Meaningful Part of Who We Are
The communities we’re part of are an important part of who we are at Shoemaker Financial. That means showing up, building relationships, and finding meaningful ways to support the people and organizations around us. Whether we’re lending a hand, supporting a local cause, or creating opportunities to connect, community involvement is one of the ways we put that belief into action.
Community Events Hosted by Shoemaker Financial
Shred Day
Protecting personal information is important, and sometimes the simplest services can make a real difference. Through our complimentary drive-through Shred Day, we give individuals and families an easy, sustainable way to securely dispose of old documents and sensitive information while connecting with our neighbors in a practical, helpful way.
November Canned Food Drive
The holidays are a time when the needs within our community can become especially visible. Each November, we collect canned food in support of the Mid-South Food Bank, helping provide food to local individuals and families. It's an opportunity for our team to come together and give back where it matters.
Houston High School Shadow Day
We believe young people benefit from seeing firsthand where their interests and talents can take them. In partnership with Houston High School, Shadow Day allows students to experience a professional environment, ask questions, and explore potential career paths. For our team, it's an opportunity to encourage the next generation and share some of what we've learned along the way.
Cop Stop
Our local first responders spend their days serving the community, and Cop Stop is one small way we can show our appreciation. Each quarter, we provide meals to local first responders, giving our team the chance to say thank you, spend time together, and recognize the people who are there for our community every day.
Supporting Our Local Business Community
Germantown Chamber of Commerce
Several of our financial professionals are members of the Germantown Chamber of Commerce, helping us stay connected to the businesses and people that make the Germantown community what it is. Those relationships matter to us because strong local businesses and strong communities often go hand in hand.
Causes and Events We’re Proud to Support
Health & Wellness
Participating in the Life Walk gives our team an opportunity to come together and support the work Life Choices is doing to make a difference for individuals and families in our community.
Mental health touches so many lives, including those within our own communities. By participating in the Memphis Walk, our team is proud to support the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention and help bring greater awareness, compassion, and support to those impacted by suicide.
The Memphis Turkey Trot is one of those traditions that brings the community together. For our team, participating is a chance to connect with neighbors, celebrate wellness, and support the Campbell Clinic Foundation’s work in orthopaedic research, education, and community outreach, all while taking part in a meaningful Memphis tradition.
Creative Aging brings music, art, and meaningful connection into the lives of older adults. It’s a mission that resonates with our team because we believe supporting a fulfilling life goes beyond finances and includes the experiences, relationships, and connections that make each stage of life meaningful.
Youth & Education
Supporting the Houston High School girls soccer team and golf tournament allows us the opportunity to invest in local students. We value being part of a community that encourages young individuals both in the classroom and in the activities they're passionate about.
The Run for Education gives our team a meaningful way to support the students and educators who help shape our community. Taking part allows us to contribute to the schools and educational opportunities that serve so many families throughout Germantown.

Taking part in the Drive for THRIVE Golf Tournament allows our team to support that mission and an organization making a meaningful difference right here in Memphis.
Taking part in the Youth Villages 5K is about supporting young people and families when it matters most. It’s a cause that means a lot to us because every young person deserves the chance to feel supported as they work toward a brighter future.
Community & Environment
The Discover the Greenway 5K+ brings people together while supporting the sustainability initiatives of the Wolf River Conservancy and the natural spaces that make our region special. It’s a fun way to come together and help care for a part of our community that protects the natural spaces around us.
The United Festival celebrates Hispanic and Latino heritage, culture, and community. Supporting events like this gives us the opportunity to celebrate the diverse people, traditions, and experiences that make our community stronger.
