You LOVE TO TEACH...If only you could teach WHEN you wanted, just for a COUPLE OF HOURS, with NO LONG TERM COMMITMENT, for a GOOD CAUSE, with people who WANT TO BE THERE. And now you CAN:
We are Changing Footprints in Indianapolis, Indiana. We collect, sort, and distribute 45,000 pairs of gently used shoes per year to 90 different organizations who need them. Schools, churches, companies, and other groups come to our sorting room to spend a couple of fun hours sorting shoes. Some come during the day, some on weekends, a few during the evenings, and it's easy to teach them how to sort. Whatever they accomplish is for the good, helps those in need, and keeps shoes out of the landfill. If you love teaching or training and miss it, and want a relaxed and occasional opportunity to do so without ANY ongoing expectations (some volunteers take six months off during the winter), let's talk. You choose the timing, the frequency, and "it's all good". Bob Broughton Indybroughton@yahoo.com

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".
