When a community comes together, humanity grows a little bigger and compassion grows fonder. Shoes come from various walks of life, but they bring people together, to share or celebrate a moment. Yuntos, a non profit organization, strives to be that connection. We focus on donating new and gently used shoes to those in need in our hometown in Guatemala.

Every pair of donated shoes is a chance to uplift someone’s journey – but getting them there comes at a cost. Our 2025 goal of $600 will fully cover the cargo and shipping fees needed to transport the donated shoes from New York to Central America.

With your support, we can ensure that these donations reach the feet that need them most.

How You Can Help!

Donate what you can – every dollar helps us get closer to our goal.
