Through the years!

Since the beginning, our goal has always been to collect 1,000 shoes in one summer. In 2024 we did that and more. With our 11 student volunteers, local businesses and support from family and friends, we collected 1254 pairs of new shoes for the kids at Child Crisis Arizona. This year, Uhaul donated a storage unit to help make our collection more streamlined and organized. 

In our 7th year, we had 7 outstanding student volunteers who worked hard, alongside our own children, to develop fundraising campaigns. In July 2023 we were able to deliver 906 pairs of shoes to Child Crisis Arizona, providing 2 new pairs of shoes for every child receiving services at Child Crisis, as they returned to school for the new school year!  Our volunteer program continued to grow and 7 students worked to achieve personal goals. Students created bake sales, Go-Fund-Me accounts and sold original artwork to family and friends. 

With help from our continued sponsors, Tito's Vodka, and our family and friends, this year we donated over 600 pairs of shoes and $7,500 to Child Crisis Arizona. 

Launch of the

Good Soles Student Volunteer Program 

This year, 4 students, ages 13 and 14, worked in a volunteer competition, to collect the most pairs of shoes for Good Soles. This awesome new opportunity had the kids creating lemonade stands, shopping for deals and doing extra chores, to earn service hours for school, but also to learn a little bit about the work that goes in to giving back. . 198 pairs of shoes were collected and many memories made.  

Good Soles collected 300 pairs of shoes and $5,000 from Tito's Vodka, to help ensure that all children at Child Crisis Arizona had a new pair of shoes on their feet for the first day of school.
