Thank You For Supporting Our 2020 Back to School Shoe Giveaway!
This program is so much more than just providing shoes for children. It is about allowing them to have the same confidence and dignity that all students should have going back to school. That confidence spills over to their performance at school, increases the probability of staying in school which will eventually affect their community impact as an adult. New shoes, not only helps them emotionally but physically as their feet grow, properly fitted shoes are essential to healthy feet. Many of the children come back the next year wearing the shoes we gave them a year ago. Not only did the children receive new shoes, they also went home with new socks and undergarments to start off their school year. Thank you to each one of you who helped put these smiles on their faces by supporting this event in so many ways. We appreciate each one of you!

Looking for a current needs list?
We are now taking donations at the main campus ONLY. We will make sure that the women’s shelters get the donations directed to them but need to limit the traffic at those locations. When you are dropping off donations, please ring the doorbell by the front door (door is locked) and a staff member will meet you. We will be updating our current needs list weekly. If you have any questions please contact us! THANK YOU!!!
