Our Dec. newsletter highlights our 1st scholastic chess tournament.
The JDF extended our mission in November with youth chess! Our JDF co-founder, Robert, was an avid chess player noting how well it teaches good decision-making and strategic thinking. Helping kids develop these skills can help improve their mental and physical health. 61 young chess players exercised their strategic thinking skills and competed for trophies.
Many thanks to the nearly 100 family members and coaches who supported the competitors. Special thanks to Mike Cornell & his team.

You may be wondering, “what does chess have to do with The JDF mission, prompting foot health and healthy lifestyles?” Great question!
Chess is a game of strategy and when we learn good decision making skills, we can improve our overall mental and physical health. JDF co-founder, Mr. J. taught us, “Chess teaches about life.” This young award winner and all the other competitors are off to a great start.

Our Story

Founded in 2016, the Jenkins Donelson Foundation (JDF) made a commitment to improve foot care in the United States and around the globe. We met The JDF mission to promote good foot health through education, services, and products by giving shoes, socks and foot care supplies to the homeless and underserved. We also created interactive Foot Health Fairs and recruited podiatrists to volunteer at Free Clinics.

Three years later, in 2019, The JDF has helped underserved in 7 states and 2 countries. We also expanded our mission to “promote foot health and healthy lifestyles for the underserved.” We now create interactive Health Fairs which emphasize diabetes education. We still give away shoes, socks, and foot care supplies but now we ‘supersize’ our distributions with clothing, blankets, toys and/or housewares to those in need.

Our volunteer efforts to recruit assistance for Free Clinics has also grown. Our relationship with podiatrists and medical professionals continues to flourish and we appreciate their generous support as we redistribute their unused diabetic shoes, gently used shoes and foot care supplies.
