Footprints Program

When we realized that children in our neighborhood were being turned away from school because they had no shoes, we started the St. Francis Footprints Program. St. Francis Medical Center reaches out to help children in our community. Today, families in need can count on the Footprints Program to provide them with shoes, clothing and basic necessities.

Families in need can make an appointment directly with the program staff to ensure that the dignity of each individual is respected. Children and families are referred to the program by local schools, churches and community organizations. All shoes and clothing provided to children and families are new.
