Ladi Luck Foundation

Dozens of pairs of sneakers laid out in rows on the floor, sorted and ready to hand out.

Ladi Luck Foundation collects new and lightly used sneakers and gets them to kids and families in Bridgeport who need them. Every December we run Dali's Holiday Sneaker Drive. Sneakers go straight to families, shelters, and recovery facilities in the community. We take donations year round.

The drive started in 2022, and 2026 is the fifth one. It is run by Dalisha Pinto, who is from Bridgeport and owns Sinners Love Sneakers.
