The Barefoot Kids Charity Program:
  Our National Distribution Network 
  is comprised of established Child
  Charities Service Organizations 
  such as Boys & Girls Clubs and 
  Big Brothers & Big Sisters, Salvation
  Army Schools and Licensed State
  Agency's currently helping
  Children with their daily lives.

  Trained professionals supervise 
  the determination and distribution of 
  footwear, and follow-up with the 
  Kids as their feet grow.

  Our goals are to reach millions of
  Children in all areas of our country.

  Our values system maintains the
  highest level of respect for the
  recipient and their family with
  compassion and fairness.

  Kids benefit by growing up with 
  proper footwear and avoiding the
  problems associated with peer
  pressure and uncomfortable 
  footwear.

  Our program also provides the Kids
  and their families an opportunity to
  experience shopping for footwear in
  stores. This instills a sense of pride 
  of ownership in purchasing their
  own new footwear.

      Barefoot Kids Sports
We have teamed up with NIKE Inc.
to provide athletic shoes for Kids in need that are registered in after-school athletic programs.

Boys & Girls Club of San Diego  received NIKE basketball, soccer and running shoes.

Sherman & Kathryn Hill Boys & Girls Club of Lancaster, PA. received NIKE basketball and running shoes.

Jack Walker Panthers Team at Boys
& Girls Club of Lancaster received Nike basketball shoes.

We inspire Kids in need to participate in organized sports programs and provide the key component (Athletic Footwear) to keep them involved and off the streets.
         

       


          Official Print Sponsor

   We are a 501(c)(3) Non Profit Corporation that exclusively provides new footwear  to Kids in need.
   
Boys and Girls Clubs, Big Brothers and Big Sisters, Salvation Army and other primary childcare institutions sign-up as distribution partners to provide our $25 Payless Shopping Cards to enrolled Kids in need of
new footwear.

The National Center for Children in Poverty (NCCP) reports that 17% or 12.7 Million children live in poor families. New footwear is often not on the list after bills, food and medical care are paid. Please help those kids in need.
              
Distribution and collection of donations is centralized and based in Carlsbad, California. This provides the ability to monitor and track use of each of our $25. Payless ShoeSource Footwear Shopping Cards.
  
Donors have the option to direct your
donation to specific communities or leave it to us to fairly distribute the $25. Shopping Cards throughout our National Distribution Network. 

Distribution Partners provide us with specific requests that are based on actual numbers of registered Children in need.
We ship the New Footwear Shopping Cards after confirmation of each request. Our tracking program confirms the use of each Shopping Card and provides feedback to our Distribution Partners for their records. 

Our two-way reporting system
creates a flow of information to and
from our Distribution Partners and is used to determine the effectiveness of our program.

You can help us today by making a donation on our donation page or buying a product or service from one of our online retail supporters. There is music downloads, computer supplies, shopping and more....

Each donation of $25. will result in the ability of a Kid, without proper fitting footwear, to go to a local Payless shoe store and buy new shoes.

You can also help by sharing this website with your  friends or posting our link on your website (www.barefootkids.org) or sharing this great program on your blog.

Passing it forward makes you a volunteer and you can do it just by sharing our cause with others.
