ShoeHeals

We're excited to be a part of this extraordinary cohort!

Who knew that #aetna loves new shoes just as much as #shoeheals Our partnership took us into four underserved neighborhoods - Humboldt Park, Pilsen, South Chicago, and West Garfield Park - where we distributed more than 50 pairs of new boots to those in need who received the COVID-19 and flu shots. All of the recipients loved their boots, even the ones that needed hard-to-find/fit sizes - 15W, 12W, and a 29-yr. old that needed a girl size 4, but didn't want her boots to look like little girls boots. Just call us the shoe whisperers! Shoes are the least donated item. So it's difficult for those in need to find used shoes that are a good fit, especially when they have extra large/wide feet or have foot ailments. ShoeHeals provides new shoes to those folks and others who are just in need of a good pair of new shoes. Next Spring, we're fundraising for the #shoehealsshoemobile. We'll be able to provide access to new shoes for more people in need and have a podiatrist to treat minor foot ailments. So we can always provide the right fit. Be sure to like #shoeheals on Instagram - @shoeheals, Facebook - #shoeheals, YouTube - shoeheals, and LinkedIn - #shoeheals to follow our shoe mobile creation journey! #Aetna #shoeheals #winterready #shoepartnership #newshoes #newboots #donatenewshoes #donateusedshoes #purposefulpairs #shoewhisperers #shoehealsshoemobile

"It's Friday, you ain't got no job, and you ain't got nothing to do..." Well, you might have a job (duh, this is LinkedIn), but if you find yourself with nothing to do on Friday, Dec. 8th, come party for a purpose with #shoeheals! Those #UglyChristmasShoes are awaiting your creative ideas to bring them to life, and all those wonderful Christmas songs and your favorite nips are ready to put you in the holiday spirit! Shoes are the least donated item. Help us bring awareness to the need for access to new shoes to restore the confidence and dignity of those in need to help them walk on a path to stability and well-being. The event is free, but you must register. To register, https://lnkd.in/g58BuKeF If you can't attend but still want to support #shoeheals, donate at https://lnkd.in/gDJnwTys Whatever you do, do it in shoes that make you feel incredible! #newshoes #donatenewshoes #purposefulpairs #shoeheals #shoehealsshoemobile #NewShoesFeeling #usedshoes #donateusedshoes

This #givingtuesday #shoeheals is asking for your support in a different way. We're asking for your support by following our Facebook and Instagram pages and going to our website to provide your email address. This Spring, we're kicking off our campaign for the #shoehealsshoemobile! The mobile will be a 26- to 31-foot bus that will travel around the city of Chicago pulling up on those in need of new shoes. It will be outfitted with 200-300 pairs of new shoes at any given time and have a podiatrist who will ride around with us to treat minor foot ailments...as the largest barrier we see to a properly fitting shoe is too long toenails. 2024 is shaping up to be our year as a small nonprofit on the move. So while we won't turn away any donations you'd like to provide to the organization on this #givingtuesday (https://lnkd.in/gDJnwTys), your social media following and email address would mean so much more. Thank you for your support, and Happy Holidays to you and yours!
