You love the look on the face of the people deliver shoes to: Wheeler Mission. Coburn Safe Place. Julian Center. You make deliveries a few times a month on your own schedule, any time between 8 AM and 5 PM, any day Monday through Saturday. The ultimate flexibility. And the organizations love to see you pull up - they need the shoes and you love to deliver them! .
Deliveries are to organizations in the Indianapolis/Greenwood/Greenfield areas, and you can pick ones closest to you, and as many or few as you would like. If you like, you can also pick up shoes from stores that collect them for us!

Mission Statement
Changing Footprints realizes the great need for shoes around the world as protection from diseases and a gateway to education. Because of that need we collect new and gently used shoes for distribution to homeless, disaster-stricken, or underprivileged people locally, nationally, and internationally regardless of race, religion, gender, or ethnicity.
Description
Changing Footprints collects used shoes from a variety of sources: collection bins at shoe stores and churches, shoe drives by schools, churches, civic and governmental agencies, and donations of customer returns by shoe companies. We sort, classify by type, and quality check, and then provide the right type of shoes at no charge to agencies, individuals, and organizations who put them on the feet of those in need. We are a 100% volunteer organization with no paid staff and provide 15,000 pair of shoes per year to those in need, locally, in the US, and to international destinations. This diverts shoes otherwise destined for landfills to a important cause, educates our youth that they can make a personal difference, helps those in need, as well as those that volunteer their time, effort, and ideas. We are a flat organization that supports any volunteer with an idea they would like to try - in the words of our youth, "it's all good".
