For Families – Receiving Sneakers

  • A person using a laptop with a registration form on the screen, placed on a round table with a coffee cup nearby.

    Parents or guardians begin by completing a secure and easy-to-use online form that captures essential details such as the child’s name, age, shoe size, and contact information. This initial step gives the foundation a clear understanding of each child’s unique needs and ensures that every request is accurately logged, reviewed, and placed in the fulfillment queue with care. Once submitted, our team begins a thoughtful matching process, carefully pairing each child with the most suitable sneakers available by considering size, comfort, style preferences, and overall condition, so every child receives a pair that not only fits well but makes them feel confident and valued. After matching, the selected sneakers are delivered directly to the family’s home or distributed personally during community events, creating a warm moment of joy, encouragement, and celebration. Each child receives their sneakers as more than just a donation—they receive them as a meaningful gift that helps them feel proud, supported, and ready to shine in school, sports, and everyday life.

    Option 1: Donate New Sneakers or Funds

    Donors can give brand-new sneakers or make monetary donations. A $50 contribution covers the cost of a new pair of sneakers, and donors can choose between one-time or recurring donations. The process is safe, fast, and transparent, ensuring that contributions directly benefit children in need.
