Empowering El Monte: The Annual Sally Shoe Drive Success Story 2021

In 2021, The Manifest Destiny Foundation partnered with Sallys Shoes to proudly organized the Sally Shoe Drive, a heartwarming initiative supporting the El Monte community in Los Angeles. In partnership with Sally's Shoes and local volunteers, we successfully distributed hundreds of pairs of shoes to underprivileged youth, embodying our commitment to nurturing and empowering the next generation. This annual event not only provided essential footwear but also brought together the community in a powerful display of solidarity and support.

Our Story

Born from the creative spirit of Fernie Andrade, renowned tattoo artist and founder of Manifest Studio in West Covina, our foundation is a testament to the impact of art and the importance of giving back. Fernie's vision was simple yet profound: to harness the collective power of local communities to support those in need and to carve out avenues for positive change.
