No Shoes. No Shirt. No Education.

4EveryKid Nashville

Give kids in need a brighter future by providing a new pair of shoes to children experiencing homelessness in middle Tennessee.  

Child homelessness is here

5,816 kids in Middle Tennessee are experiencing homelessness; but why give shoes to kids without homes?

Why give shoes

A good pair of shoes can change a child’s future

Kids who receive new shoes have more confidence, attend school more regularly, and are more physically active.

While many organizations are focused on the critical needs of food and shelter, school officials tell us shoes are essential for students to succeed in school.

Our mission

Help us meet our goal

We want to provide shoes to the 5,816 local kids experiencing homelessness.

The 4EK program begin with a story about one pink cowboy boot and one pink flip flop and our community’s desire to better meet the needs of children . For many students, new shoes are an exciting part of the back to school season. It’s a blessing and a privilege for us to provide the same opportunity for students who may need an extra bit of brightness to start the new year.
