Southern Ohio Soles is a 501(c)(3) Nonprofit Organization founded in 2023 by Isaac Slark, Dayne Neff, and Max Gentry. Our mission is to ensure that every child has the opportunity to walk confidently towards a brighter future, regardless of their circumstances. Throughout the 2023-24 school year, we donated 110 pairs of shoes to students across 13 buildings. In the 2024-25 school year, we were able to donate 250+ shoes to students in Jackson and Vinton County.

For the current 2025-2026 school year, Southern Ohio Soles is serving three counties: Jackson County, Vinton County, and Pike County.
