Sole Stepping
Mission
SOLE Stepping is a certified 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that provides new shoes and socks to elementary school students in Lexington County, South Carolina. Shoes are often the most visible sign of poverty. With 1 in 5 children living in poverty, that’s a reality that impacts every school district in America. The simple gift of a new pair of shoes can positively change a child’s world. That’s why we never distribute previously-owned shoes to our children in our sponsored schools.
Our Involvement
Rick Mantei and his team regularly supports Sole Stepping, offering their support through charitable flights and varying community service initiatives. The community service effort, which will go a long way, help in providing shoes to children in need. These acts of kindness highlight the tremendous impact that community involvement and support can have on those who are less fortunate.
