Heel and Soul 2026

Heel and Soul Community Project

United Way of Broome County has partnered with Fox 40 for the Heel and Soul Community Project. Heel and Soul is a community-driven project with a simple yet powerful mission: to provide new shoes to children in need before the start of the next school year. The impact of a new pair of shoes on a child’s confidence is profound, and we’re excited to be a part of this initiative alongside UHS, Excellus Blue Cross Blue Shield of the Southern Tier and FOX 40.
