Goodie Two Shoes Foundation

GTSF is a Las Vegas-based 501c3 organization providing disadvantaged children and children in crisis with new shoes and socks. Our shoe distribution programming is hosted onsite at qualifying schools in the valley in an effort to best reach large groups of children most in need of our resources, and we outfit more than 10,000 children annually through 25+ activations! Each of our shoe distributions are staffed by caring community volunteers who work one-on-one with the participating children to assist them in selecting their very own brand-new pair of properly fitting sneakers

Our programming is based on the premise that we don’t just provide a child with a new pair of shoes. We measure their feet on-site to ensure proper fit. We pair them one-on-one with a community volunteer, whom takes a special interest and walks them through the process. We make them the center of attention, and we EMPOWER them with choice; by giving them the opportunity to select any pair of properly fitting shoes they choose from our large inventory of high-quality athletic shoes, just like the ones their friends at school are wearing. In the short-term, GTSF’s programming provides simple necessities in a fun and exciting atmosphere. But long after the recipients outgrow their shoes of choice, we hope the children remember their positive interaction with a caring community volunteer and the feelings of empowerment that came with making an unrestrained, positive choice and draw on that experience when making decisions in the future.
