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.
