Who We Are

Southern Ohio Soles is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2023 by three friends from Appalachian Ohio who turned their experience in the sneaker industry into a mission: providing new shoes to underprivileged students. We currently serve Jackson, Vinton, and Pike Counties through a network of partner schools and a student leadership program, operating with a vision of expanding our reach.

Our Process

1

A school contact identifies a student in need and submits a shoe request, specifying size, style, and any relevant details.

2

Our team reviews the request and personally purchases the right pair of shoes, handling everything from start to finish.

3

The purchased shoes are shipped directly to the student representative assigned to that school.

4

When the shoes arrive, the student representative brings them to school and coordinates with staff for delivery.

5

The student representative delivers the shoes directly to the student, ensuring every pair is received with care.
