NONPROFIT SHOES THAT FIT LAUNCHES ANNUAL “BACK TO SCHOOL” CAMPAIGN TO HELP KIDS RETURN TO SCHOOL WITH DIGNITY AND PRIDE.
Shoes That Fit Charity
Back-to-school season can bring financial stress for many families. With 49.6 million children returning to school and 1 in 7 living in poverty, the need is urgent.*
Shoes That Fit tackles one of the most visible signs of poverty in America by providing new athletic shoes to kids in need—helping them show up to school ready to learn, play, and thrive. A new pair of shoes can be life changing. It improves attendance, self-esteem, behavior, and physical activity—even restoring smiles. All from something as simple as a pair of shoes.
“When families have to choose between putting food on the table or buying new shoes for school, you can imagine that food wins every time. The simple gift of a pair of shoes can increase a child's confidence, attendance and performance at school – because when kids have shoes that fit, there’s no limit to what they can achieve”
Amy Fass – Executive Director, Shoes That Fit
