Our mission is to provide new shoes
and socks to underserved children
provided to underserved children … and still counting!
to serve our home communities in Colorado and Illinois
expanding our mission of providing “Shoes for Kids” across America
At Share the Spirit Foundation, our mission is to provide underserved children with new shoes and socks. We go above and beyond by offering a personalized shopping experience, where a committed volunteer assists each child with choosing their very own pair of new shoes. We strongly believe this not only fulfills a child's basic necessity but also nurtures their independence, pride and self-esteem.
Collaborating with school officials is at the core of our mission. By working closely with teachers, administrators and social workers, we are confident we can identify children who require assistance.
Children often already receive hand-me-downs, used shoes or discarded shoes that do not fit properly. We want to ensure that every pair of shoes fit perfectly. Thus, our fundraising efforts provide the monetary means to buy new shoes and socks.
Throughout the year we organize multiple fundraisers, helping to gather the necessary funds. Additionally, we warmly welcome donations and actively pursue grants. Since we are an all-volunteer organization, our fundraisers are specifically designed to support the acquisition of new shoes.
