Join Kicks for Kids in Making a Difference

Kicks For Kids is a nonprofit organization dedicated to changing the lives of children in need by providing them with one of the most overlooked but essential items—brand-new, properly fitting sneakers. We believe that every child deserves the dignity, confidence, and opportunity that come with having the right shoes to attend school, engage in physical activities, and fully participate in the world around them.

Our mission is to support underprivileged youth through sneaker and educational programs that meet both physical needs and emotional well-being. We recognize that when children have access to basic necessities like footwear, it removes a critical barrier to learning, play, and social development. More than just shoes, we provide hope, encouragement, and a foundation for a better future.

Through our work, we aim to:

Prevent bullying related to inadequate clothing or shoes

Improve school attendance by removing the stigma and discomfort of worn-out or ill-fitting footwear

Raise self-esteem and restore confidence in children’s daily interactions

Promote physical activity and healthy lifestyles through sports readiness

Decrease behavioral issues by fostering a sense of pride, belonging, and purpose

Kicks For Kids envisions a world where no child is held back because of what they lack—and where a simple pair of sneakers becomes a powerful tool for transformation, inclusion, and possibility.
