Sneakers for success
Fairfield Community Services Foundation is excited to partner with Shoes That Fit and Fairfield-Suisun Unified School District (FSUSD) to deliver Sneakers for Success
Sneakers for Success will deliver amazing shoes to Fairfield's youth in need, just in time for the school year. Budgets are tight, and families often need help to afford new shoes for their children's growing feet. And so many children are left with old shoes that are too small or worn out, leading to pain, shame, and embarrassment. That's why we are partnering with Shoes That Fit and FSUSD. Shoes That Fit is a national nonprofit that tackles one of the most visible signs of childhood poverty in America by giving children in need new athletic shoes so they can confidently attend school with dignity and joy and be prepared to learn, play, and thrive!
Your generous donation of new shoes and socks can be a turning point in a child's success. A fresh pair of shoes can bring about a significant change, improving school attendance, self-esteem, behavior, and physical activity. It's a small item with a big impact—a pair of sneakers for Success!
Donate to Sneakers for Success today! Each $30 donation will provide a pair of (mixed brands) great quality sneakers and socks.
Studies and data reveal a stark reality-many underprivileged, low-income children lack appropriate footwear. We firmly believe that every child in our community deserves a good pair of shoes. The absence of this basic necessity can lead to feelings of embarrassment, discouragement, and exclusion. Conversely, research also shows that children who receive new shoes experience a boost in confidence, attend school more regularly, and engage in more physical activities. This initiative aligns perfectly with our mission to support the most underserved youth in our community.
