Good Works Engine

Good Works Engine, formerly Mission: Feet First, (a 501(c)3) was founded in 2010 by Fleet Feet Sports owners, Emily & Keith Davis.  Emily & Keith have a passion for their Christian faith and for helping others.  In 2024 the name was changed to encompass the charity's main purpose: aid the underprivileged and inspire faith by highlighting global needs.

As Emily and Keith's faith has grown, their eyes have been more opened to the needs of the world, and fundraising for the charity has grown- the desire to expand giving has increased.  Emily and Keith invest in the following organizations and invite you to consider exploring these organizations.  Through Good Works Engine, we to increase our support of these entities:
