Sneak Peek: Seniors Program

We are THRILLED to let you know, before anyone else, about our new Seniors program. We will let the general public know in a few days, but we just couldn’t wait to tell our Sole Society family.

The global senior population is growing significantly, along with their needs:

• The population of people 60+ is projected to more than double by the year 2050, reaching over 1.5 billion (World Health Organization, 2011).

• Every second of every day, an older adult (age 65+) suffers a fall in the United States, making falls the leading cause of injury and death amongst seniors (Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 2020).

Lack of proper footwear can have a negative impact on a senior’s health and well-being, the ability to live independently, community involvement, and economic stability.

Samaritan’s Feet has established Samaritan’s Feet Seniors to better address the needs of our aging population. This program will serve Seniors, age 55 and older, with new anti-slip, lightweight shoes to improve mobility, healthy living, dignity, and hope.

We can’t wait to get started as we serve Seniors in designated pilot cities across the US by the end of 2021.
