Coachella Valley Has Sole: Local Couple Helps Community with Gently Used Shoes

Judy and Mike Wexler, the founders of Coachella Valley Has Sole, are putting their passion for helping others into action by providing gently used shoes to those in need across the valley. Their organization collects shoes from local businesses like Running Wild and the Birkenstock store, hosts shoe drives, and partners with local organizations such as the Coachella Valley Rescue Mission and area schools.

One recent collaboration saw the couple meeting with Don Kick, the owner of Running Wild, to donate more than 250 pairs of sneakers valued at $30,000 to Painted Hills Middle School students in Desert Hot Springs. This generous donation is part of their ongoing effort to support the local community and make a tangible difference in the lives of those who need it most.

For those looking to get involved or donate, Coachella Valley Has Sole is always welcoming new partnerships and contributions to continue their vital work in the community.
