Footwear with Care: Restoring Humanity and Hope
Providing New Footwear to Help the Homeless Walk in Comfort
We are a nonprofit that provides great new footwear to homeless individuals in Hartford, CT. Twice a year, we hold events staffed by medical professionals and volunteers. In the Spring, we fit our homeless clients with new sneakers; in the Winter new boots. At each event, medical professionals offer preventive health care services and medical foot exams.
Year-round, working with Officer Jim Barrett, Hartford’s homelessness officer, we distribute new footwear and other basic need items from our outreach site at South Church, 277 Main St., Hartford. There, we work with our clients to help them obtain vital services, partnering with Hartford police, healthcare providers, shelters, and other nonprofit groups.
Let’s provide a path forward.

Helping People Get Back on Their Feet
Along with footwear, we offer clothing, sleeping bags, bus tickets, food, toiletries and other basic need items. We help our clients connect with vital services—housing, healthcare, and essential documents. And we work with other nonprofits that serve the homeless.
Our volunteers come from throughout the Greater Hartford community. Grants and donations from foundations, individuals and businesses make our work possible.
