Provide joy and confidence to the kids experiencing homelessness in Middle Tennessee today.















Child homelessness is here.

5,816 kids in Middle Tennessee are experiencing homelessness; but why give shoes to kids without homes?

A good pair of shoes can change a child’s future.

Kids who receive new shoes have more confidence, attend school more regularly, and are more physically active.
While many organizations are focused on the critical needs of food and shelter, school officials tell us shoes are essential for students to succeed in school.

Geodis and the Geodis Foundation are committed to strengthening the well-being of our community. We are thrilled to support the 4EveryKid program to help ensure students experiencing homelessness will have greater access to education, increased confidence and a sense of belonging, and are able to participate in physical activity.

Andy Johnston, GEODIS

The 4EK program begin with a story about one pink cowboy boot and one pink flip flop and our community’s desire to better meet the needs of children . For many students, new shoes are an exciting part of the back to school season. It’s a blessing and a privilege for us to provide the same opportunity for students who may need an extra bit of brightness to start the new year.
