👟 sneakers from the heart is a nonprofit organization dedicated to turning gently used sneakers into stepping stones for brighter futures. We believe that no one should be held back by something as simple as a lack of footwear. That’s why we collect pre-loved sneakers, lovingly clean and restore them, and donate them to individuals in underserved communities—locally and globally.
Each pair we give is more than just a shoe—it’s a symbol of dignity, mobility, and opportunity. Whether it’s a child walking confidently into school, an adult stepping into a job interview, or an athlete chasing their dream, we’re here to make sure no one is left behind.

2025 Christmas Donations
Hearts in Motion: A Holiday Outreach
This year, we were deeply blessed to surprise 18 incredible kids (ranging from ages 4 to 18) with their Christmas wishes. Each smile, each gasp of joy, each tear of gratitude reminded us why we do what we do.
From cozy coats to shiny new sneakers, from toys that spark imagination to gifts that say “you matter” every single item was wrapped in love and hope. These weren’t just presents. They were affirmations. They were moments of magic for children who deserve to feel seen, supported, and celebrated.
To everyone who donated, volunteered, and lifted this mission with your hearts in motion: thank you. You helped turn wishes into reality and made this season unforgettable.
