About Us
What We Do
SOLE Stepping is all about the socks and the shoes: hundreds of shoes and thousands of shoes! SOLE Stepping provides new socks and shoes to our sponsored elementary schools with a purpose of inclusion. If you attend one of our schools, we want YOU to have a pair of shoes! Without a doubt, we want our children to wear appropriate shoes for school and the weather. We want our children to wear correctly sized shoes, so their growing feet are well protected. We want our children to be comfortable. We want our children to run, jump, and play.
In our very own communities, our children come from a wide variety of backgrounds with certain commonalities. Our communities are historically close-knit. We support one another and unite to meet the needs of others. All of our children need us today. Our children need to know that they are important, valued, and treasured.
Our children are navigating the tumultuous waters with small beacons of light to guide their way. SOLE Stepping is such a light in our community. The volunteers at SOLE Stepping are here, not by chance, but by love. Our volunteers are here to serve, shine their light, and wear their hearts on their sleeves. Our children see this. They know this and they feel this. You see, when a child is given a gift of a new pair of shoes, no matter what burdens are on their small shoulders, for a moment, even if brief, they are a child without a care. They are a child that can run fast, jump high, and smile. They are a child that is poured in to...a child given hope...a child given unconditional love... a child given encouragement.
Like I said, SOLE Stepping is all about the shoes. Without shoes, where would they go?
How We Do It
Our children are sponsored by individuals, local community groups, church partners, business partners, and grants. We gladly accept donations of new sneakers and new athletic socks and monetary donations. All funds donated are used to purchase socks and sneakers unless otherwise designated.
All shoe sizes are accepted since our children range in age from 3 years old to 12 years old.
Shoes are collected and prepared off-site. On the selected December Distribution date, all shoes are transported to the school. Once at the school, our team of volunteers are paired with students until all the students receive their new shoes. We support our sponsored schools throughout the year. If a need arises, the schools contact us to fit specific children.
