How can we give back to the community through shoes?
I am so glad you asked. What better way for a sneakerhead to give back to the community than through shoes? I have listed a couple of organizations that are focused on giving back. Please support them. If you know of other non-profit organizations that focus on shoes, send me a message, and I will be happy to add them to this page.
Organizations
Shoes that Fit
1 in 5 children lives in poverty. That’s a reality right here in the United States, and shoes are one of the most visible signs of poverty. The simple gift of new athletic shoes can be a new lease on life for a child in need.
Soles4Souls
Soles4Souls turns unwanted shoes and clothing into opportunity, by keeping them from going to waste and putting them to good use – providing relief, creating jobs and empowering people to break the cycle of poverty.
Unforgettable Soles
Unforgettable Soles is a social enterprise focused on delivering shoes, education and hope to the under served communities across the globe. Unforgettable Soles was founded in 2015 based on a need in the Atlanta community. Our founder Chance Mack walked pass homeless youth, men and women on a daily basis during his time at Georgia State University. He decided he wanted to do something about it and created Unforgettable Soles.
We believe we can be the change we want to see. As leaders in our community we believe we are equipping the next generation with the tools to create social change/justice and combat climate change.
Let’s change the world, 1 shoe at a time.
