Introducing: Shoe Lockers

We are so excited to share this video with our Sole Society family FIRST. Check it out:

The Children’s Defense Fund reports in a 2020 study that 1 in 6 children in America live in poverty which can create a lack of access to basic necessities like shoes and socks. Additionally, Columbia University reports that since May 2020, the number of Americans in poverty has increased by 8 million.

Samaritan’s Feet has created the Shoe Locker to help address this growing need.

A Shoe Locker is a way to provide new athletic shoes to children as the needs arise. Kept on-site at a school, a Shoe Locker is a supply of athletic shoes which are immediately available when a student has improperly fitting or worn shoes.
