We are Changing Footprints, an 12-year-old Indianapolis non-profit that collected 46,000 pairs of shoes in 2017 and redistributed them through 60+ local organizations like Wheeler Mission to those in need.
Why do we need 45 minutes of your time? We are 100% volunteer and growing fast. We need someone who can help us post for volunteers on volunteering websites like CreateTheGood.org (AARP), Idealist.org, HandsOnNetwork, and more. We'll give you all the info you need, and you can do it on your own schedule. No rush and no long-term commitment. But huge impact, as every volunteer you recruit will likely result in 500+ pairs of shoes sorted in 2018.

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".
