Founded in 2012, Shoes from the Heart has grown from a local effort in Macon, Missouri, into a compassionate movement dedicated to supporting children in need. What began as a simple desire to make life a little easier for local families has expanded across the United States, fueled by the generosity of community partners, regional organizations, and supporters who believe every child deserves comfort, dignity, and opportunity.

At Shoes from the Heart, our mission is grounded in providing something many of us take for granted: a dependable pair of shoes. We work to meet this essential need for children facing unexpected challenges, ensuring they can walk confidently in school, at play, and throughout their daily lives. With every pair donated, we continue our journey of compassion one step, one child, and one community at a time.
