Give online at shoesthatfit.org/everystep to make a difference for a child today!

Your donations will give children brand new shoes, allowing them to learn, play and thrive! More than 1,000 schools across the country have reached out to us expressing an urgent need for shoes for their students.

“When kids don’t have shoes that fit them, they miss out on important steps in childhood - making it to school, going on field trips, joining a sports team for the first time. And for families facing poverty, affording shoes for growing feet is a huge challenge. We don’t want kids to miss crucial steps in childhood development. We want them to be able to play on the playground, make it to school, and play sports. And to do that, they need shoes that support them. Shoes that are comfortable. Shoes that allow them to play.” AMY FASS, CEO and Executive Director Shoes That Fit.

1 in 7 kids in the US lives in poverty. What defines poverty? For a family of four - two adults, two kids - it’s $31,200 or below per year. Imagine how limiting it is to live on that budget. Affording rent, groceries, transportation and healthcare, it wouldn’t go far. Now imagine buying your growing children new shoes on that income. It’s nearly impossible!

Together we can make sure they get the shoes they need to go to school and focus in class, undistracted by pain or embarrassment. And that they have shoes that encourage playing, running and jumping.

Your unrestricted gift this season makes all the difference – between a child missing steps, feeling less than, and a child who is supported in all their steps forward, who feels proud of how they look, ready to take on the challenges of school, and who knows they are cared for and important.

When you give, you are making a powerful statement to the kids: we care about you and your steps forward!
