Heart and Soles4Souls is more than a program – it’s a commitment to change

We’re launching Heart and Soles4Souls, a transformative movement dedicated to making a difference in the lives of the 7,000 children experiencing homelessness in the Twin Cities. In collaboration with Soles4Souls, a global non-profit, Heart and Soles4Souls seeks to provide new shoes to these kids in need in the Twin Cities, offering not only a basic necessity but also hope and opportunity.

In Minnesota, households with children experiencing homelessness grew by 27% from January 2022 to 2023*. Together, we can stride towards a future where every child takes confident steps towards success. We invite you to be a part of the solution by participating in our kick-off event.

Your Support is Making a Positive Impact:

Minneapolis Public Schools shared with us just one example of how our support is making a positive impact on a local family:

“I just came here from Ecuador, with little to no resources. My family took everything we could grab that was important for us to have. I enrolled my children with Minneapolis Public Schools and spoke with the school social worker regarding our current homeless status. I shared that we didn’t come with much and that since we just arrived a week ago, I have not been able to find employment. The school social worker was very helpful with sharing resources for my family. She shared that the department not only had clothing and personal hygiene for my children, but they also had shoes. My heart was filled with happiness because my children were in need and this program helped my family. My children were able to get 2 pairs of shoes each, they were so happy with this choice of shoes. Seeing them smile brought tears to my eyes and this gave me hope that better days are ahead of us.”
