Imagine starting the school year seeing your peers with new, cool gear, while you’re stuck with last year's shoes that are too worn or too small. We believe every child deserves to walk into school with confidence, feeling just as important as everyone else. That’s why we launched the Step Into School campaign, to ensure no child feels left behind. At Shoes That Fit, we know that shoes aren’t just another item on the back-to-school list—they're essential. Kids often outgrow their shoes over the summer, and for many families, affording a new pair isn’t easy. Join us in making a difference! Let’s give kids the shoes they need to start the school year on the right foot. $30 provides shoes for a child in need: https://lnkd.in/gizRftha #StepIntoSchool #ShoesThatFit #BackToSchool #SupportKids

Heading back to school should be exciting, but for many kids in low-income families, it's stressful due to old, worn-out shoes. You can help a child #StepIntoSchool with comfort and confidence! Your gift provides shoes that fit perfectly, encourage active play, and support growing feet. Plus, new shoes boost their confidence and show them they matter.

What a delightful day meeting with representatives from the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians, including Melisa Castro and Marissa Aguilar! Today, Shoes That Fit were honored to accept the generous donation of shoes collected during their Summer of Yawa' fundraiser. This incredible effort brought in brand new, name brand shoes from The Tribe and Yaamava' Resort & Casino at San Manuel employees and guests. As an extra incentive, guests who made a donation also received Free Play credits, making it a win-win for everyone involved! But the surprises didn’t end there—they also informed us that our grant application for this year has been approved! 🎉 We are deeply grateful for our growing partnership with San Manuel and look forward to many more years of collaboration to support children in need. Thank you for your unwavering commitment to our mission! #Grateful #CommunitySupport #Partnership #ShoesThatFit #SanManuelBandOfMissionIndians
