Mission Statement
Our mission is to spread the good news of Ian's faith by providing shoes and winter boots to those in need!
1.) Encouraging groups and individuals to sponsor collections for gently used shoes, winter boots and soccer cleats.
2.) Cleaning, sanitizing, packaging and shipping these items to where they are needed the most. We include in each pair of shoes or boots a copy of the verse that the doctors found "In Ian's Boots."
3.) Soliciting manufacturers and retailers for donations or deep discounts on surplus stock and overruns then arrange for the distribution of the shoes and boots.
4.) Using individual donations and corporate grants to purchase, clean and ship shoes and boots to where they are needed the most.
5.) Working with other local charities, schools and businesses to both collect shoes and to assist with distribution
