How long has it been since you've been to Indianapolis? You live in Indiana and you would love an excuse to come see the #1 Children's Museum in the nation, visit the White River State Park Butterfly House, have lunch at Shapiro's Deli and dinner at St. Elmo's Steakhouse or Barcelona, a Spanish tapas restaurant. Well, we have a great excuse for you to drive in from Ft. Wayne, Corydon, Valpo, and other Indiana cities. Your help is desperately needed!
We are a Indiana nonprofit that collects used shoes from around the state, sorts them, and provides them to agencies that support the homeless, domestic abuse victims, provide children's services, and more. We sometimes have shoe drives in distant cities and need help getting them to Indianapolis. So come visit the city and do something amazing for others by bringing shoes from your area. Or if you live in Indianapolis, take a day trip out to Richmond, French Lick, Jasper, Terre Haute, or some other exotic corner of the state.
No matter where you live: Valporaiso, Madison, Corydon, Terre Haute, Fort Wayne, or any other city nearby or distant, including Avon, Noblesville, Bloomington, and hundreds of other cities, we need your help.
Call me and learn more: Bob broughton, Changing Footprints, 317-727-4186.
PS: Please be aware that we are 100% volunteer organization that does not raise funds or pay volunteers. Gas, food, and other costs would be your contribution to the effort. The IRS does allow you to deduct 14 cents per mile for the distance from Indy to your town and back. But your main reward will be knowing that a homeless person or a child will be getting a desperately needed pair of shoes. Call or email me today and I'll send you the list of more than 60 agencies and 18 countries who have received some of the 104,000 pairs of shoes - 52 tons - saved from landfills and distributed to those in need since 2005. Take a day trip, and help change the world.

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".
