The Texas Podiatric Medical Foundation believes in reaching out to the community. Several programs have been developed to assist those in need of proper foot health care. Those programs include:

• Provide medical mission for foot and ankle clinical and surgical care to areas in need. The 2006-2007 medical missions include the San Miguel mission training adults and children in need from interior Mexico. Additional projects are coordinating Doctors without Borders mission trip and co-sponsoring the Christmas shoe drive for the orphanages in McAllen, Texas in December.
• Arranging basic foot screenings for elementary school children.
• Providing scholarships for podiatric medical residents to the approved Texas Podiatric Medical Foundation Resident Programs.
• Captain Pod Activity Books designed to educate young children about the importance of health care and exercise.
