How to Donate
A Step Forward is a charity organization started by high schoolers from San Mateo County. Our mission is to collect gently used and wearable shoes donating them to local communities in need. Collecting and donating over 5,000 shoes, we strive to make a larger impact on the community. Through our list of drop off locations, our community shoe drives make it easier for you to donate.
