Changing Footprints has a small (1000 sq ft - 2000 sq ft) donated space in Indianapolis where volunteers collect, sort, and redistribute shoes to those in need in the Indianapolis area. Our volunteer group in Greenwood/Southern Indianapolis knows they could do more to collect and distribute shoes to Johnson County/Southern Marion County residents, if they had a small space to operate from (rather than hauling shoes up and back from the Indianapolis site).
If you have 500 square feet or more that we could operate from, we could change the lives of many of our neighbors? We are looking in the Beach Grove, Greenwood, southern Indianapolis area. We are 100% volunteer organization, working out of donated space with donated supplies and volunteer labor. We do no fundraising - we simply collect, sort, qualify, and redistribute shoes at no charge, so we need a rent-free situation; a barn, a storefront, a small building, an unleased doctor's office, a U-store-it space. We would understand it is only on a temporary basis, but if you can loan it "for a while", give us a call. Bob Broughton 317-727-4186 www.changingfootprints.org to see how we help others.

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".
