8,004 kids in Metro Atlanta are experiencing homelessness; but why give shoes to kids without homes?
A good pair of shoes can change a child’s future.
Kids who receive new shoes have more confidence, attend school more regularly, and are more physically active.
While many organizations are focused on the critical needs of food and shelter, school officials tell us shoes are essential for students to succeed in school.
Each one of us can take action to be a part of improve the lives of kids experiencing homelessness in Atlanta. I hope you will join me in giving each one of these 8,500 (not sure of the exact number) a new pair of athletic shoes to help them reach new heights.
