Samaritan’s Feet Seniors serves and inspires hope and dignity in our aging population by providing shoe donations for seniors as the foundation to a spiritual and healthy life.
Lack of proper footwear can have a negative impact on a senior’s health and well-being, the ability to live independently, community involvement, and economic stability. Samaritan’s Feet has established Samaritan’s Feet Seniors to better address the needs of our aging population and provide shoes for seniors.
Poverty affects older adults differently than other demographics. These individuals are especially vulnerable to economic instability when their physical health, cognitive abilities, and social networks decline. Donating to seniors near you can help support community members who need it most. Samaritan’s Feet Seniors program will give seniors a pair of anti-slip, lightweight shoes to improve foot health and mobility, while also providing them with dignity and hope.
Provide protection from falls and increase mobility.
Promote independence because Seniors can safely move around.
Propel others towards a more comfortable, happy life.
Share the importance of foot-health and self-care with Seniors as they are served.
