How many shoes have been collected and distributed since 2006?
3,000 pairs of shoes!

Peru, Ecuador, Costa Rica, Guatemala,
Jordan, Haiti, South Africa, Kenya
Where do shoe donations come from?:
Comminuty and School Drives
Keen Footwear
The North Face
Donations from individuals like you!
How are the shoes distributed?:
When I have the opportunity, I go abroad myself to deliver the shoes personally. Other times, volunteers have offered to take them to a country where they can make shoe donations. Occasionally the shoes are shipped, but this gets expensive!
We owe much of our success and continuing operations to the organizations listed below. We are grateful to have the following organizations as part of our movement.
