Every Child Deserves a Confident First Day of School
For many local children, a new pair of shoes and a backpack are not guaranteed. Your gift helps students walk into school feeling prepared, confident, and ready to learn.
Last year, more than 450 local students received shoes, backpacks, and school supplies through this program. With rising costs, even more families are expected to need assistance this year.
A new pair of shoes may seem small, but to a child, it can mean confidence, dignity, and a fresh start.

Your Impact Through Their Eyes
“It's been an absolute blessing for our family, because I can't afford things like this for my boys normally. My boys absolutely love their shoes and being able to start the new school year with brand new shoes that they love. My boys and myself truly appreciate everyone involved in making this program possible. It is truly a blessing.”
— Anonymous Client“I appreciate each and everyone that makes this program possible if it wasn't for you my kids wouldn't have new shoes to go back to school. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!”
— Anonymous Client“To be honest, my boys would have to continue to wear their shoes from last year until I could save enough to get them a couple of cheap pairs at Walmart or a thrift store, for them to not even last long. Only other option I would have had is skip paying a bill so that I could buy them new shoes. Skipping bills is genuinely scary for me, because I fear I'd never be able to get caught back up and would take a serious toll on my mental health.”
