What is Hands To Feet?
Hands 2 Feet is a student lead organization run by Messiah College student-athletes who feel called by Christ to give those less fortunate an opportunity to own shoes in order to participate in sports. As Christian student-athletes they feel led to give to others in this meaningful way.
Hands 2 Feet also accepts donations of gently-used athletic wear such as jerseys, warm-ups, and sport-specific pants or shorts.
In the future, Hands 2 Feet also plans to serve through local missional opportunities.
