Founded in 2015, Shoes for Miles is a campaign to provide shoes to those in need while shining a light on congenital heart defects.
Why shoes?
It's easy to take for granted the miraculous wet engine that propels us forward in life... the human heart. Some babies are born with broken hearts and must fight for survival from birth. Much like our hearts, our feet work incredibly hard for us. And not everyone has adequate shoes to protect them from cold, injury, and disease.
This campaign aims to inspire others to use their hearts by giving shoes to those in need.
Who will benefit?
Shoes collected this year will go to the People's City Mission in Lincoln, which offers guests a safe, warm atmosphere that promotes recovery, self-sufficiency and independent living. It also serves as a place of refuge for battered women and children.
