Every day, thousands of children around Alabama and Tennessee face poverty and the result is a lack of appropriate, safe shoes. Research shows that the wrong pair of shoes has measurable detrimental effects on behavior, learning, and confidence.
The Listerhill Foundation and Kicks for Kids are helping the future of our communities put their best feet forward with one pair of shoes at a time.
The Listerhill Foundation Grant is designed to provide funding to elementary schools to address their most pressing needs. Whether it is educational supplies, extracurricular programs, infrastructure improvements, or initiatives that enhance student well-being, this grant empowers schools to create a positive impact in their communities.
Kicks For Kids exists to raise awareness and offer real, impactful solutions to those most in need.
Taking Listerhill’s philosophy of “people helping people” to a real, tangible extension, this special charity enables kids to run, play, and learn like kids should.
Without your donations, we wouldn't be able to bring new kicks to kids in our community. We have a huge amount of gratitude to all of our sponsors. Thank you for helping us continue to make a difference in lives of students in local schools.

Empowering children with the right pair of shoes gives them the ability to proudly put their best foot forward which can give them the confidence boost they need.
What better way to break in a new pair of shoes than to run and play in them?
A new pair of shoes might just be the key to lifting the weekday blues and bringing positivity to each and every student.
Wearing the right shoes can spark the motivation needed to take on another day of class. We're here to provide that push.
We choose schools in Alabama and Tennessee that need new shoes the most. Providing shoes also ranges from giving to one grade to giving to the whole school.
Students are given a pair of name-brand athletic shoes as well as five pairs of socks.
We focus on providing new shoes during the school year when kids need them most. We work with schools to settle on a date that works best for everyone.
Shoes are expensive, and kids outgrow them quickly - often making them the most visible sign of poverty. Unfortunately, this creates a disparity among kids which can be divisive, embarrassing, and a pretext for bullying. By providing a new pair of athletic shoes, we increase their self-esteem, encourage school participation, reduce prejudice, and give them an opportunity to reach their highest potential.

Before we visit each chosen school, we'll collect each child's feet measurements so that they all have that "Cinderella's slipper" moment they deserve with their new shoes.
We bring the shoes straight to the schools so that all the kids need to do is bring their best dance moves.
Based on the measurements taken prior to our visit, we give each child the right pair of shoes they've been waiting for. Whether it be during or after our visit, every kid will have an opportunity to strut their new shoes.
We'll make sure a new pair is sent within one week.
Your contribution will fund more than a pair of shoes. You will help a child with their confidence, exercise, and learning. If you want to help this initiative, we urge you to donate.
