Shoes For All
The overall goal is simple, if you don't want to walk in your shoes, please give them to someone who does.
In September 2010, Dr. Mary Carlson began her first shoe drive at a local street fair.
The tremendous community support and experience proved that there was an overwhelming need for this type of outreach service.
If you have a pair of new or lightly used shoes that you hardly wear, send them our way. We can give them a good home.
Please NO Boxes and make sure shoes are Untied.

Shoes For All, a not for profit organization since 2010 formed by Dr. Mary Carlson Podiatrist of Williston Park Long Island will donate over 60 new pairs of baseball cleats and coaches cleats to the students of Principal Luis Eladio Torres, P.S. 55. The elementary school is located at 450 St. Paul Place South Bronx NY 10456. This event will provide an opportunity for the students from ages 8 to 10 to have much needed cleats to participate in athletic activities. Athletic teams foster teamwork, camaraderie and commitment. Shoes For All is happy to help these young boys participate in Americas favorite past time, baseball.
Shoes For all has been giving away new and lovely worn shoes for the past six years throughout Long Island and the five boughs. To date they have given away 48,000 pairs of shoes to poor and working poor families in need of this basic necessity. The overwhelming need for this type of outreach was and continues to be evident and Dr. Carlson continues to be the catalyst to those who had and give to those less fortunate.
SFA hopes to continue this partnership with P.S.55 and perhaps help other groups in need of footwear. Please visit us at www.shoesforall-sfa.com for more information.

What the people say…
-
We would just like to send our heartfelt thanks to Shoes For All for providing our children NEW sneakers. These students are either in temporary housing or living in a shelter. Many of these students do not have sneakers for gym, which makes it very hard to participate in any activity. This simple act of kindness will provide each student with a basic need that will make them feel special and loved. Your assistance is greatly appreciated.
Jackie Zammit -
It is because of the efforts of individuals such as [Dr. Carlson] we can continue to provide the necessary services to meet the needs of our clients and their families.
Phil Glotzer -
Because of your generous donation, an unemployed woman who is not able to afford professional clothing, will look and feel her best when going on what may be her first interview in months of job searching.
Joi Gordon -
Your benevolence is most welcomed at a time when our economy continues to be in a dismal state.
You can rest assured that your shoes will be utilized by this and surrounding communities.
Ricky W. Richards -
Thank you for your gift of three large bags of shoes which was used in our Christmas gifts give away for families of House of Hope.

What makes SFA so different?
This organization is based on the belief that there are families; mothers, fathers and children who have tremendous financial problems right here in the United States. We are a simple non-profit that guarantees that the shoes you donate will be worn by someone who is in need of this basic necessity, shoes.
Currently we are based in Long Island, New York and have donated to seven local organizations which include: Dress for Success, Interfaith Nutritional Network, St. Aidan's Parish Social Ministry, Lutheran Social Services, TLC 911, and the Aids Center of Queens County. With your help SFA will be able to serve even more outreach programs.
We are changing lives one step at a time by providing new or lovingly worn shoes for the less fortunate. Shoes For All facilitates the collection of unused shoes and distributes them to those in desperate need of foot wear. Our overall goal is simple, if you don't want to walk in your shoes then give them to someone who does.
