Since its founding in 2010, Sneakers with Soul has collected and distributed over 13,000 pairs of new sneakers/athletic shoes that have been provided to kids in need. Sneakers with Soul works with local social service agencies along with donor organizations and individuals to match donors with the children, youth, and families that are the recipients of the donated new sneakers. Parents and guardians of the children/youth that are the recipients of the new sneakers pay nothing for their child's sneakers.
