Since its founding in 2010, Sneakers with Soul has placed over 55,000 new brand-name sneakers on the feet of under-resourced kids in the greater St. Louis metropolitan area, as well as in our newest service area of Buffalo, NY. Sneakers are purchased at deep discounts from our brand name footwear suppliers to enable our organization to serve more kids and extend the use of every donated dollar. As a result of the generous donations from individuals and charitable foundations, new sneakers are provided to under-resourced students in grades K - 12 at no cost to the families or our partner agencies and school districts that assist in identifying and connecting with the young scholars receiving our sneakers.
In 2026, Sneakers with Soul will again be working with Reebok to make available quality sneakers for under-resourced kids in grades K-12. Sneakers with Soul continues to expand its relationship with social service agency partners and school districts with a significant percentage of students enrolled in Free & Reduced Cost lunch programs to connect with more students in need.
Our deepest gratitude to the individual donors and charitable foundations that have been and continue to support the mission of Sneakers with Soul.
To provide new, quality, brand-name sneakers for at-risk children and youth living in poverty throughout their K through 12 school age years and do so in a manner that honors the worth and dignity of every child/youth and parent/guardian served.
