Provide the Footwear and Support for a Fresh Start
Feet are the foundation of the body. Feet — and the rest of the body — need decent, well-fitting shoes and boots for overall wellbeing. A new pair of good shoes or boots delivers a physical, mental and emotional boost.
Unfortunately, our homeless friends can’t afford new footwear, even though most walk everywhere in all kinds of weather.
They often suffer from sore, wet feet, fungal infections, aching knees, hips, backs and complications for those with diabetes — a disease made worse by their lack of access to healthy food and housing. Navigating the world of homelessness becomes even more difficult.
You can help change this. By supporting Footwear with Care, you can help give good-quality footwear — and the boost that goes with it — to people at a low point in their lives. You can also help us supply them with the steel-toe boots or non-slip shoes they need for work.
Ways to Help
We are built on the power of community volunteers and strong local partnerships. We work with other nonprofits, local police, healthcare providers, area businesses, faith organizations, and schools to provide new footwear to people in need, year-round. Through FleetFeet Hartford, we work directly with manufacturers to get quality footwear at wholesale prices.
