New Shoes, New Hopes!
Transforming Lives Through Every Step
We are a 501(c)3 non-profit. At Power Walking Ministries, we believe in the transformative power of a good pair of shoes. Founded on the principle that “Good shoes bring good things in a child’s life,” our mission is to provide new athletic footwear to children in need across Brunswick County. From classrooms to playgrounds to athletic fields & courts, we ensure every child can participate fully and confidently in school activities, promoting both physical health and emotional well-being.
Running Towards a Brighter Future
In collaboration with schools, DSS, and Hope Harbor, we’re gearing up for the upcoming seasons—Spring, Summer, and Fall—ensuring children have the essential footwear they need to thrive. Whether it’s a pair of sneakers for PE class or cleats for a soccer game, we’re here to support our community’s children every step of the way.
Empowering Youth One Step at a Time
Our impact extends far beyond shoes; it’s about empowering children to reach their full potential. By providing proper footwear, we’re fostering self-confidence and enabling kids to focus on learning, playing, and growing.
““Good Shoes bring Good things in a child’s life. Shoes truly Change Souls!”
