Make a difference in the lives of children at risk of abuse and neglect.

Help us make a huge difference in the lives of children LSF serves in the Tampa Bay region through our programs in Child Welfare. They are coming from homes where each new day was a challenge. And when they enter foster care, it is often with only the clothes on their backs and sometimes not even a pair of shoes on their feet. For this reason, we are holding LSF’s “Heart and Sole” Spring Shoe Drive!

We have an ambitious goal of collecting 1500 BRAND NEW pairs of sneakers. Can you help us get there?

The kids we serve come in all shapes and sizes, birth to 18, so as you can imagine, any and all types – boys, girls, women and men’s shoes are all needed. Sneakers are preferred. Shoes can be purchased from our Amazon Wish List, or from any retail store and delivered to one of our drop-off locations.
