Our Mission: Sneakers for Heroes is an initiative to distribute free footwear to medical professionals fighting on the frontlines during the COVID-19 pandemic. A new pair of supportive shoes can provide a bit of physical comfort to these essential workers, who are often working back-to-back shifts, and hopefully a little joy. As of August 1st, over 7,000 pairs of sneakers have been donated to over 100 hospitals nationwide.
