Samaritan’s Feet International is excited to announce we will be bringing hope through the gift of shoes to the Raleigh community in 2024.
Give Hope and New Shoes to Children and Seniors in Raleigh
The goal for this year’s One City Raleigh event is to fund and distribute new shoes to 2,000 children and seniors in Raleigh. Nonprofits and organizations in the Raleigh-Durham area have consistently reported that shoes are one of the hardest necessities to secure for the people they serve, highlighting the urgent need for this basic but often overlooked item. Not only will this exciting event focus on giving new shoes and a message of hope, but also on bringing neighbors, religious leaders, community influencers, and public service personnel together to inspire empathy and unity.
As a leader in your community, we are seeking your support and believe it can significantly assist us in impacting those in need in Raleigh. By becoming a sponsor, you will not only align your philanthropic mission with this humanitarian cause, but also make a tangible difference in your community. Would you consider donating to help serve in Raleigh?

About Samaritan's Feet
Samaritan’s Feet is a non-profit organization that serves and inspires hope in people by providing shoes as the foundation to a spiritual and healthy life resulting in the advancement of education and economic opportunities. Over 30 years ago, a boy in Nigeria, Manny Ohonme, received his first pair of shoes at the age of nine. That simple gifted prompted him to play basketball and follow his dreams, ultimately earning him a college basketball scholarship in the United States. A pair of shoes changed his life. So in 2003, Manny and his wife Tracie, started Samaritan’s Feet with a goal of giving hope through the gift of shoes.
