The donated shoes made a tremendous impact on both our community and our organization. They helped us meet one of the most immediate and often overlooked needs of people experiencing homelessness and hardship — access to clean, reliable footwear. With these items, we were able to expand our outreach efforts and deepen our support services. For many of our clients, receiving a good pair of shoes meant they could attend job interviews, medical appointments, or simply walk with less pain and more dignity. It also helped us build trust with individuals who were hesitant to engage — a small act of kindness that opened the door to bigger conversations about housing, health, and stability. For our team, having these shoes to offer strengthened our capacity to serve with compassion and purpose. We saw first-hand how something as simple as a new pair of shoes could restore confidence, improve physical health, and remind people that they are seen and valued. We’re deeply grateful to our donation partners for making this possible. Your generosity helped us walk alongside our most vulnerable neighbours, one step at a time. Thank you
