Warm A Sole Inc has been such a great nonprofit to work with. Their heart to serve our local community is something that we need more of in this world. This school year, Warm A Sole Inc went above and beyond with their donation to our clothes closet by providing 100s of pairs of shoes that we were able to share with schools around our district. Thank you Warm A Sole Inc!
I first learned of Warm A Sole through my wife, who is a volunteer. As a family we are very happy to donate to this worthy nonprofit that provides new shoes to school age kids in need, with very little overhead and no fanfare. It is wonderful to see this organization helping people in our community in such an immediate and meaningful way.
I recently retired and moved to a new city. I wanted to volunteer at a local nonprofit that did great work for my new community. Warm A Sole fit the bill! It provides new shoes to school age children in need. These kids are often fostered or even homeless, and a pair of new shoes helps reduce the stigma of their dire circumstances and allows them to attend school with more dignity. I especially like Warm A Sole because it is run solely by volunteers so there is very little overhead and virtually all of its resources are spent on providing new shoes for the kids.
Hundreds of kids in our district have benefited from this organization. With our high poverty/homeless population this is a need that no one else has offered to fill in the past. Our students and families benefit from warm-a-soles work and generosity and bring more comfort and joy to the kids that can even be put into words!!!! As a teacher, I have witnessed the pure joy and excitement 1st hand and can't thank them enough!
Wonderful organization that goes above and beyond for children in Foster Care and disadvantage children.
I started volunteering 2 years ago during the Christmas angel tree fundraiser. With helping collecting the shoes, to wrapping the shoes. Its a good feeling to know that a child in need will have new shoes to wear. Having to take the shoes to them and watching them open, brings tears to your eyes.
Warm a sole is an organization that i will continue to help in any which way i can.
I was inspired 3 years ago to start a Nonprofit that would thrive in our local communities and benefit children in need. By providing new shoes to children in need it creates confidence that carries them through tough times. It's important to let ALL children know how special they are and that people do care and want them to succeed in life. We have wonderful donors and volunteers that have made our organization thrive and we look forward to continuing our mission in the years ahead.
This is a wonderful charity for children of all ages. Every child needs to feel good from head to toe and this charity has made it their priority. Hard work, dedication and lots of LOVE has went into this Charity. ALL CHILDREN need and want a pair of shoes to feel good in.
Thank you !!! for all the time and effort you have given to these children.
A wonderful Nonprofit who specializes in servicing school age children with new shoes for school. Their Christmas Angel Tree program is always a big hit with the children we help.
I am an elementary school teacher and Warm A Sole has provided new shoes for my students and for many other students in my school. These are kids who are in need and would not have any shoes if not for the donated shoes that Warm A Sole has provided us! Thank you for your donations!
Warm A Sole Inc is much appreciated and needed. Because of the organization, many of our kinship children were able to receive brand new shoes. The children were very excited when they received the shoes and it was a financial relief for their relative caregivers. Thank you for all that you do to support our children in care! Your generous donations move the difference in so many lives.
Warm A Sole Inc is such a wonderful organization. With their generous donations I have been able to provide new stylish shoes for dozen of kids. Both the kids and caregivers are so appreciative of the shoes. Thank you for all you do!
Thanks to Warm a Sole, 30 homeless children at the Next Move family shelter received brand new shoes for the school year! Not only were the shoes new, but they were also stylish and exactly the right size for each child. What a heartwarming experience to see the joy of children and parents upon opening new shoes. Next Move's families and staff truly appreciate the generosity of Warm a Sole!
Kathy and her team are amazing!!! Next Move was a first time recipient this year. They have gone above and beyond to provide the kids at my family shelter with brand new shoes for the 2017. We had very no expectations as we are a donation driven organization about the shoes that they children would receive. What our kids received was beyond any expections we could have ever had.Watching the children open brand new name brand shoes was amazing these shoes that Warm a Sole provided were top notch! These were shoes that any kid would be proud to wear to school. Thank you Kathy and to the Warm a Sole Team!
I work at a local public agency that works with children, youth, and young adults in foster care. My organization was invited to participate in coordination with Famous Footwear, Warm a Sole, and Good Day Sacramento event called Shoe Crazy where the reporter has a short amount of time to grab as many shoes as possible. Famous Footwear donated the amount the shoes were worth to provide to Warm a Sole who purchased shoes for the young dependents we care for. Warm a Sole followed up with us and did a great job coordinating delivery of the shoes. Thank you for providing a good service and helping our clients.
This is a fantastic charity doing it's part to help our local community with dedication and the utmost care. I will definitely donate again and again. Thank you!
Warm A Sole has helped our school The Mustard Seed for over 2 years now. We are a school for homeless children in downtown Sacramento. It's a blessing to see the smiles on our students faces when they are able to receive a new pair of shoes. This organization has been so great to our school we can't thank them enough. You guys are amazing!!!
Warm A Sole is an amazing organization! For the past two years Warm A Sole has done a back to school drive for our local children in foster care. I cannot express enough how much of a difference Warm A Sole has made in the lives of all of the recipients of their thoughtfulness and generosity. This year we received 66 pairs of brand new, custom shopped-for shoes (most of which came to us in brand new backpacks!). Our children loved receiving the shoes! Now that they do not have to worry about wearing shoes that are falling apart, the kids are better able to focus on their academics and extracurricular activities. I could sing the praises of this incredible organization day in and day out. If you're looking for a worthwhile organization to support, I recommend Warm A Sole. They are making a tangible difference in the lives of the kids that tend to need it the most.
Warmasole is my favorite charity! The people are so warm and fun, they have huge hearts for children. I have been helping them for about a year and they really care so much for these kids.
We love Warm A Sole! Their mission is easy to “tie” to your heartstrings. Warm A Sole has provided shoes, and confidence, to many homeless students in the Marysville Joint Unified School District. Our programs are a perfect “pair”. The founder and visionary of Warm A Sole is a true inspiration. Warm A Sole is willing to walk a million miles to distribute shoes and confidence to students in need. Warm A Sole’s program has definitely warmed the soul of many students and parents! Thank you Warm A Sole.

I can't say enough about Warm A Sole and how helpful and professional they are. I am currently not financially stable as I am a single mother of three. Warm A Sole help me with new shoes for my children. It is nice knowing that there are people out there that really do care and want to help! Thank you again Warm A Sole.
Warm A Sole has made tremendous progress in their first year of existence. By carefully selecting their staff, partners, and supporting associations, they are making every effort to build a trustworthy and reliable organization. The founder researches and develops a personal relationship with potential client’s administrators to evaluate and expedite the distribution of new shoes to children most in need.
Often, when people think about kids in foster care they automatically think of the babies and toddlers. People don't even realize that many teenagers are in foster care and need just as much love and support as the younger kids. Besides the love and support that is needed, shoes are often needed. As a social worker that works with teens, I see everyday what is needed. Shoes are one of the things that are greatly needed. Often, we get shoes donated for just the babies and toddlers, which leaves the teenagers growing out of their shoes. The teens don't have the resources to get the shoes that are needed, so I was thrilled when Warm A Sole reached out to us. Because of Warm A Sole, the teenagers I work with were able to start this year with a new pair of shoes. They even were able to get the shoes they wanted. Many of the youth said nobody had ever got them the shoes they wanted and they were all very grateful. I do not know what we would do if Warm A Sole was not so generous to alway help us!
I was so excited when Kathy Horan, Founder of Warm A Sole, asked me to be a part of it!!! They are an organization to provide new shoes to children who otherwise would not have the means to get them. Kathy has been working very hard to put smiles on children's faces as they put on their new shoes!!! Warm A Sole has been great to the community!!!!
Warm a Sole is dedicated to helping kids get new shoes for school when normal circumstances won't allow for it. I have been fortunate to see the difference this organization has made for kids going back to school. Thank you Warm-A-Sole for all you do!!!! You are awesome!!!!
Warm-A-Sole is making a big impact in the lives of adolescents/ children in foster care. They provided a generous shoe donation to Sierra Forever Families . It is not often a teen in care can make many of their own choices in life, even in picking/ affording a brand name pair of shoes. This program provided a chance for our adolescents to have a voice and providing much needed shoes for the upcoming school year. Each child was very grateful and surprised at the quality and generosity from Warm- A - Sole. Thank you again!
I had the pleasure of meeting Kathy and talking to her about her Warm A Sole organization and all the wonderful things they do to help non profit organizations like Lilliput Children's Services. There program allowed our kinship children in Placer County to have a head start in school by donating brand new shoes before their first day of school. I got to see the look on their faces as they received the shoes and it was a joyful moment for them as well as for myself. We look forward to working with Warm A Sole in the future.
Warm-A-Sole is making a big difference in the lives of at-risk children. They provided a generous shoe donation to Lilliput Children's Services, for the children in the kinship program. These kids are being raised by grandparents and other relatives and the families struggle with making ends meet. Something as critical as shoes, particularly at back-to-school time, is key to their success.
Thanks to the generosity and attention to detail, the amazing children I work with now have brand new shoes with which to begin the new school year. These shoes have brought confidence and pride to the youth, and have given them that extra boost to proceed and follow their dreams. Thank you so much Warm A Sole Inc., your gifts are much appreciated and honored!!!!

“Warm-A-Sole has made 35 children and youth in foster care very happy with the gift of new shoes in time for the start of school. Their policy to personalize the shopping by considering age, gender, size, and style makes each pair of shoes a gift letting kids know someone cares for them. Our staff reported the kids were thrilled and had big smiles on their faces. It is heart warming to realize organizations, such as Warm-A-Sole, care about kids who often feel forgotten.” JK
