At Youth2Good

Empowering Youth, Enabling Change

At Youth2Good, we believe every childhood memory can create a meaningful future. By repurposing gently used toys and books, we raise funds to provide shoes for individuals experiencing homelessness — turning moments of joy from the past into steps of dignity and hope for the present. One item, one sale, one step closer to change.

Why Homelessness and Shoes?

Having the proper footwear is often taken for granted, but for many unhoused individuals, this is not a privilege that they get to enjoy. It is a consistent and significant issue that affects their lives on a daily basis. Improper footwear causes health issues, and limits mobility, among the homeless population.
