Hav A Sole (501c3)

HavASole has touched thousands of lives through, social activism, volunteering and building community. Our movement not only affects the individual who receives the shoes but it increases a sense of social responsibility with its young volunteers offering them a way to get involved in their community. Built upon a grassroots model, HavASole’s goal for 2018 is to double our efforts so we can increase the amount of shoes given out and touch even more lives. While we receive support from friends from all over the nation, we are especially grateful for the support of ten local Nike outlets who have donated thousands of shoes so the HavASole team could deliver them to homeless individuals and at risk you The health of the feet is paramount in allowing homeless to get through their day while living on the streets. In January of 2012, the Journal of American Podiatric Medical Association stated that a rate of 3 out of 15 homeless people, after being assessed, had to be referred for foot problems, such as infections, painful corns and calluses. It was concluded that a good portion of these individuals who required medical care, was due to not having access to proper footwear. The population we serve are at risk youth and the homeless. It is important to remind people that circumstance does not forfeit your humanity. It is our goal to restore confidence through impact. We give our recipients the power to choose for themselves again. Through our partners and their generous donations, we bring a retail experience offering choice of quality footwear to those in need. We have delivered shoes to The Clare Foundation, Boys and Girls Club, Covenant House, The Union Rescue Mission, Midnight Mission, Santa Monica PAL and others.
