About
IN 2018 THE ORGANIZATION LAUNCHED ITS SIXTH ROAD TRIP USING SOCIAL MEDIA TO BRING AWARENESS TO THE HOMELESS CRISIS FACING OUR NATION TODAY. THE JOURNEY BEGAN IN LOS ANGELES AT A LOCAL FINISH LINE STORE WHERE THE ORGANIZATION'S TEAM PICKED UP SHOE DONATIONS HIT THE ROAD. AFTER 6 DAYS OF DRIVING AND GIVING OUT SHOES TO THOSE IN NEED UNTIL REACHING THEIR DESTINATION AT FINISH LINE HEADQUARTERS IN INDIANAPOLIS. DURING THEIR STAY IN INDY, THE ORGANIZATION PARTNERED WITH THE FINISH LINE YOUTH FOUNDATION, HERBERT SIMON FAMILY FOUNDATION AND PACERS SPORTS AND ENTERTAINMENT TO HOST A SNEAKER GIVE AWAY AT OUTREACH INC. THE ORGANIZATION GAVE AWAY MORE THAN 250 PAIRS OF SHOES ON THEIR TRIP AND USED SOCIAL MEDIA TO IMPACT OTHERS. THEY WERE LATER INVITED A PACERS GAME WHERE THEY WERE PRESENTED WITH A CHECK FROM HERBERT SIMON FAMILY FOUNDATION AND FINISH LINE YOUTH FOUNDATION AT CENTER COURT. THE ORGANIZATION WAS HONORED BY COVENANT HOUSE FOR IT'S CONTINUED SUPPORT AND MENTORSHIP OF THE HOMELESS YOUTH. FOR THE PAST 5 YEARS, THE ORGANIZATION HAS POURED ENDLESS LOVE AND SUPPORT INTO THE YOUNG PEOPLE BY PROVIDING HUNDREDS OF PAIRS OF BRAND NEW SHOES FOR EVERY YOUTH ON CAMPUS, NOT ONLY AT THE COVENANT HOUSE IN HOLLYWOOD, BUT ALSO OUR SITES IN OAKLAND, NEW ORLEANS, ORLANDO, FORT LAUDERDALE AND HOUSTON. THEY HAVE MADE A DEEP IMPACT IN YOUNG PEOPLE'S LIVES ACROSS THE UNITED STATES. FOR MANY OF OUR YOUTH, THIS MAY BE THE FIRST TIME IN THEIR LIFE THEY RECEIVE A NEW PAIR OF SHOES. THE YOUTH WERE SO EXCITED ABOUT THEIR NEW SHOES, THAT THEY ASKED TO START A HIKING GROUP THAT MEETS EACH SUNDAY. IN ADDITION, A YOUTH SPEARHEADED AN IDEA TO HOST A STAFF VS. YOUTH BASKETBALL GAME EACH MONTH. IN THE PAST, YOUTH HAVE NOT PARTICIPATED BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T HAVE BASKETBALL OR TENNIS SHOES. NOW EVERY SINGLE GAME DAY, YOUTH SPRINT UP THE STAIRS TO THEIR ROOMS TO GRAB THEIR SNEAKERS! THE ORGANIZATION HAS BEEN A REPEATED SOURCE OF GREAT JOY AND ENCOURAGEMENT FOR THE COMMUNITY LIVING AT UNION RESCUE MISSION. NOT ONLY HAVE THEY COME MULTIPLE TIMES TO ENRICH OUR SHOE GAME HERE, THEY HAVE ENRICHED THE LOVE, CARE, AND SUPPORT FELT WITHIN THIS COMMUNITY. SHOES ARE ENNABLINGNOT JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE COMFORTABLE AND NICE LOOKING (AND LET ME TELL YOU, HAV A SOLE ONLY BRINGS THE BEST OF SHOES), BUT BECAUSE THEY ARE A CONDUIT FOR RELATIONSHIP AND CONNECTION. THE HAV A SOLE TEAM COMES TO SERVE AND THE EXPERIENCE OF HAVING SHOES LACED UP AND PUT ON YOUR FEET FOR YOU IS SUCH AN EMPOWERING EXPERIENCE. THEY COME AND HANG OUT, LITERALLY ON BENDED KNEE. THEY LAUGH, CRY, LISTEN, AND SHARE THEIR OWN STORIES AS THEY WORK WITH EACH ONE OF OUR MEN TO INTENTIONALLY SET THEM UP WITH SHOES THAT ARE SO MUCH MORE THAN JUST SHOES.
