Who We Help

Walking With People—Not Just Providing Shoes

At Wholly Kicks, we don’t just distribute shoes—we walk with people through moments of challenge, transition, and hope.

You’ll find us in schools, shelters, motels, nonprofits, and on sidewalks across Aurora and Denver. We meet people where they are—literally and emotionally—with compassion, respect, and a fresh pair of new shoes that symbolize dignity and possibility.

Who We Walk With

Individuals & Families Facing Financial Hardship

Whether it’s a child growing up in low-income housing, a parent walking to work, or someone unhoused navigating life —we believe no one should have to walk in worn-out shoes.
 
People with Disabilities

For people who rely on adaptive footwear because of developmental, neurological, or mobility-related needs, insurance often falls short. We help bridge that gap with new, properly fitted shoes.

Aurora & Denver Metro Communities

Our roots are local. From Title 1 schools to shelters and housing programs, we’re committed to long-term partnerships that foster trust, consistency and a sense of belonging.

Why It Matters

  • We give only new shoes and socks—never secondhand
  • Every person receives the chance to choose what fits them best
  • Our volunteers are trained to approach every interaction with dignity, care, and presence

This isn’t about charity—it’s community. Whether someone is walking into a classroom, job interview, or new phase of life, the shoes they receive from Wholly Kicks help them do it with pride.
