Kicks 4 the City, powered by Legacy Leavers (nonprofit organization), focuses its efforts around the holiday season in local communities experiencing poverty and homelessness. The mission is to bring awareness to these struggles and provide the opportunity for our communities to come together as one, donating new or lightly used shoes for those less-fortunate during the colder fall and winter months.

This year, the 5th annual Kicks 4 the City shoe drive is excited to announce its partnership with The Athlete’s Foot USA, a leading retailer for athletic footwear and apparel! With 459 stores located in 24 countries worldwide, The Athlete’s Foot emerges as the ideal partner. Their national reach coupled with an equally laudable commitment to the community, will lead us to our goal of 25,000 pairs of shoes for those in need this 2016 giving season.

“Today’s announcement with Kicks 4 the City comes with great pleasure,” said Adam Chait, CEO - The Athlete’s Foot USA. “This partnership will help deliver shoes to thousands of families experiencing poverty and homelessness. It will also allow The Athlete’s Foot to strengthen our commitment and ties to the local communities we serve.”

Sharing in the excitement of this partnership, Kicks 4 the City and The Athlete’s Foot are planning initiatives throughout the year that will increase their impact in local communities experiencing poverty and homelessness. Stay tuned as these plans will be unveiled in the coming months.
