"These are the expensive shoes." That’s what one caregiver said after their student received a pair from us this spring—and it’s exactly why we do this. A new pair of name-brand shoes isn’t just about style. It’s about dignity, confidence, and reminding every student we serve that they deserve the same things as any other kid. A $25 donation enables us to support another student with new shoes this year - www.firstdayshoefund.org (fb)

Thank you to Kalamazoo Area Newcomers' Club for this generous donation and for volunteering with us recently unpacking shoes. We are so grateful for your continued support! (fb)
