Samaritan’s Feet shares a message of hope and love by distributing new shoes and washing the feet of under-served individuals around the world. We want to inspire hope through the gift of shoes, the act of washing feet, and encouragement to those who need it most. For the past 10 years, we have through Jesus Christ shared hope and love around the world. In 2013 alone, we managed or partnered with
other like-minded organizations to host nearly 500 events around the world distributing a total of approximately 1.1 million pairs of shoes. We refuse to accept the fact that the almost 3 billion people living in poverty are hungry, don’t have access to healthcare, and can’t afford education and basic articles of clothing and shoes (World Bank, 2008). People without shoes face dangers like laceration, fungus, and insect bites that can lead to infection, disease, and even death. Children with no shoes are often not allowed entrance to education in many countries and can find their way into slavery, or unsafe and inexcusable child labor environments. Samaritan’s Feet shares hope with children in the U.S. and around the world by washing their feet, giving them a new pair of shoes, and helping them believe that their dreams can come true. We at Samaritan’s Feet believe that a new pair of shoes can be a tangible foundation of hope to a person in need.
