Thanks to an exciting partnership with Pacers Running, more than 40 clients were fitted with new shoes donated by Pacers at the end of August. At the beginning of September, they were able to come in and pick up their new shoes. In addition to their new footwear, clients also had the opportunity to select workout clothes to support their health and fitness journeys.
Our dedicated podiatrist, Dr. Nilufar Medhane, along with other amazing SOME staff, were on site providing foot assessments and education on proper shoe fitting and common foot ailments. Dr. Medhane and her team successfully connected over 20 clients with podiatry services and scheduled upcoming appointments. SOME stands out by offering walk-in and appointment-based podiatry services, all free of charge.
Clients were also treated to breakfast and had the option to visit our food warehouse and clothing center. It was truly a day of care and community at its finest! Not only did clients leave with new shoes, but they also received the necessary support for their foot health.
