One City Detroit: Destination for Impact

One City Detroit: Hope in Every Step

The One City Detroit Initiative is designed to bring together neighbors, religious leaders, community influencers, and public service personnel to serve 1,500 children, adults, and seniors in Detroit. This initiative goes beyond shoe distribution it’s about inspiring empathy, unity, and dignity. By partnering with local organizations and the Rocket Company, we aim to:

Distribute 1,500 pairs of shoes to those in need.

Engage the community in acts of service, including foot-washing, to foster connection.

Create a lasting legacy of hope and compassion in Detroit.

WHY SHOES

A new pair of shoes is more than just footwear—it’s a gateway to a better life.

Shoes Can:

Inspire Hope: Provide a tangible symbol of care and dignity.

Support Education: Help children focus in school by alleviating family concerns.

Protect Health: Reduce the risk of foot-borne diseases.

Foster Opportunity: Empower individuals to pursue education and economic advancement.

Samaritan’s Feet invites the Detroit community and our partners at the Rocket Company to join us in this transformative initiative. Together, we can provide a foundation for a healthier, more hopeful future for Detroit’s children, adults, and seniors. Let’s unite to make a difference—one pair of shoes at a time.
