What Started as a shoe drive, now has turned into a Global Initiative
Our Journey
What began as a small shoe drive in January 2025 quickly transformed into a global initiative. Within our very first month, we collected over 1,500 pairs of shoes thanks to the overwhelming support from our community, local events, and the reach of our growing social media presence. It became clear that this was more than just a one-time effort; it was the beginning of something much bigger. Month after month, our collections nearly doubled, and what started as a simple idea began gaining real momentum.
Helping others has always been at the heart of who we are; philanthropy isn’t just something we do; it’s part of our identity. In just seven months, we surpassed 20,000 donated pairs and traveled with Soles4Souls to personally deliver shoes to communities in need in Guatemala. While our impact has reached global communities, we remain deeply committed to giving back at home; continuing to support domestic violence shelters across New York and holding regular distribution events to serve those in our local community.

Trip to Local Schools
This season, our team had the incredible opportunity to visit local schools and shelters to distribute brand new shoes to members of our community. Each pair represented more than comfort; it was a symbol of hope, dignity, and opportunity.
From the excitement in a child’s eyes trying on their first new pair, to the gratitude shared by families and educators, these moments reminded us why we do what we do. Every shoe we give out brings us one step closer to building a community where no one is left behind.
We’re deeply thankful to our volunteers, donors, and partners who made these distributions possible. Together, we’re not just giving shoes; we’re sharing kindness, restoring confidence, and inspiring change.
