Changing Footprints Donations Sorting on the Northside

Changing Footprint is MOVING! Sorting and bagging assistance is needed from March 11-31. We will be focused on getting our 20,000 pairs of shoes sorted & rebagged, and moved out to our storage units.
Changing Footprints realizes the great need for shoes around the world as protection from diseases and a gateway to education. Because of that need we collect new and gently used shoes for distribution to homeless, disaster-stricken, or underprivileged people locally, nationally, and internationally regardless of race, religion, gender, or ethnicity. As a nonprofit, registered 501(c)3 organization.
As our reputation has grown, we have had the pleasure of working with many social service agencies, church missions, medical relief teams, military personnel, and disaster relief teams, requesting shoes for their missions. We never lose sight of our mission since we work personally with teams who actually take the shoes and see that they reach those in need.
