Mission

Wholly Kicks walks with those experiencing homelessness and economic disparity. We believe everyone is a whole person and is deserving of a new pair of shoes.

Background Statement

Wholly Kicks was launched when our founder, Tyg"er" Taylor, met a man in his alley who said, "I suppose you can only walk in the shoes given to you." From a brief conversation in November, 2018 to over 33,000 new kicks today, (November, 2025), Wholly Kicks continues to expand it's outreach to persons of all ages who find a new pair of kicks to be helpful on their journey. With over 50 events each year, you can find Wholly Kicks in Title 1 schools, in shelters, on the street, with housing orgs, with nonprofits that care, and walking with case managers who support our neighbors.
