Hope Delivered To South Carolina Families Thousands of South Carolina residents will have their feet washed, given a new pair of shoes, and touched with a message of hope through a partnership between Samaritan’s Feet, Department of Social Services, United Way, South Carolina Department of Education and churches throughout the state. Samaritan's Feet (www.samaritansfeet.org) is a humanitarian relief organization that puts shoes on kid's feet all around the world. They will partner with hundreds of volunteers to give these children a pair of shoes. The shoe distribution will take place at various locations in all 46 counties in the state. |
Join Lt Gov Bauer in touching the lives of 46,000 children by kindly making a donation. Every $5.00 touches a child.

Lt. Governor Bauer will preside over the Senate on Wednesday, May 13th in his bare feet to kick-off the program.
"I am so excited to be a part of this shoe distribution in our backyard,” said Manny Ohonme, Founder of Samaritan’s Feet. “It’s imperative that we all consider what our country is going through and give back to our own community. I am so proud of Lt. Governor Bauer and his office for using their platform as leaders to reach their constituency.”
There are over 300 million children who go without shoes every day. It's their only mode of transportation. That's why Samaritan's Feet (www.samaritansfeet.org) was started. Samaritan's Feet is a humanitarian relief organization based in Charlotte, NC that puts shoes on the feet of children all around the world. Our goal is to provide-10 million pairs of shoes for 10 million impoverished people in 10 years. To date, nearly one million pairs of shoes for children around the world have been collected.
