THE NEED IS REAL:
WHY
YOUR HELP
MATTERS
Of the families we serve, receive financial assistance to help pay for their home and food expenses
Of all children wear sneakers that are too small or in disrepair
Lack consistent access to healthy food on a daily basis
Perform below grade level in key subjects
Face unaddressed mental health challenges
How Many Sneakers Do Kids Really Need?
- Ages 4–6: Replace shoes every 4 months
- Ages 7–10: Replace every 5 months
- Ages 11–14: Replace every 6 months
How Many Sneakers Do Kids Really Need?
Ages 4–6: Replace shoes every 4 months
Ages 7–10: Replace shoes every 5 months
Ages 11–14: Replace shoes every 6 months
Over 11 years (ages 5–16), a child might realistically need 20–25 pairs of sneakers. That’s why our mission to provide children in need with proper fitting sneakers is so vital.
A PERSONAL MESSAGE FROM STEVEN BINDER
Having a good pair of sneakers is more than just footwear—it’s a source of confidence, opportunity, and dignity for kids in need. Through Project New Step Foundation, we’re not just giving shoes; we’re giving the children of Martin County, Florida, South Florida and Metro New York City the ability to walk into school with pride, participate in sports, and chase their dreams without limitations. Every pair donated is a step toward a brighter future, proving that small acts of kindness can make a lasting impact. Helping kids get the sneakers they need isn’t just about comfort—it’s about empowerment, self-esteem, and opening doors to new possibilities.
Sincerely,
Steven Binder
Founder & CEO, Project New Step Foundation, Inc.

HOW IT WORKS: SIMPLE STEPS TO BIG IMPACT
We raise money from generous donors. Then, work with world-renowned sneaker companies to purchase footwear so we can distribute to children who are in urgent need of help.
