You LOVE to solve problems. You owned a business - it was problem solving all day. You loved it when your boss gave you a tough problem to solve that no one else had succeeded at. Your job at home raising kids and running the household is all about problem solving. You aren't a MAINTAINER, you're a solver, creator, organizer, and MOVE ON.
We are Changing Footprints. We have figured out how to find, sort, and redistribute 30,000 pairs of good used shoes to those in need. We need creative problem solvers who would love to look a list of opportunities and chew on one in their spare time. For example:
> How do we reach 100 + Scouting troops to ask them if they would like to sort shoes for a service project? Ditto for schools, fraternal organizations.
> What free software could we use to schedule sorting groups
> How would we find a great writer who would like to help us with cleaning up some of our written procedures, history, etc.
> We need to find free space in a shuttered building on the sourth side of town. How might we do that?
By the way, great problem solvers aren't IDEA people - they have an idea and they are empowered to go out and DO it.
If you want a chance to make a REAL, LASTING difference for a non-profit... and having social teas and talking about doing good ... ISN'T what makes you tick, then call me. You can make a huge difference CHANGING the world, not just being a pair of hands. Bob Broughton 317-727-4186.

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".
