get categories in app/Providers/AppServiceProvider.php boot method

namespace App\Providers;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\View;
use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;
use DB;


class AppServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    /**
     * Bootstrap any application services.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function boot()
    {
         View::share('key', 'value');
         Schema::defaultStringLength(191);

        $categories=DB::table('categories')->get();
        View::share('categories',$categories);  

    }

    /**
     * Register any application services.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function register()
    {
        //
    }
}

now you can access categories in all views and controllers in $categories variable

in your footer : 

@foreach($categories as $category)
   <p>{{$category->name}}</p>
@endforeach
