22,085 kids in Dallas-Fort Worth 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.
We are fortunate to be able to help the most vulnerable kids in our community. Shoes matter in ways that are hard to understand until you don’t have them. This will help keep them in school and feel like they are equal. We are humbled to help lead this effort and grateful to all of those who have contributed to make it possible.
Cambridge Holdings founder and CEO, Jean-Claude Saada
Footwear is an item that, generally, cannot be purchased through grant funding, so this partnership and initiative is immensely important to fully support the needs of our homeless children and youth. We are thankful to Soles4Souls and all the community partners who are coming together to ensure our students have one less concern in preparing for school and can focus on their academic performance.
