“One in seven children in the United States live in a low-income family, and shoes are one of the most expensive items for families to provide. When families have to choose between putting food on the table or buying new shoes for school, you can imagine that food wins every time. The simple gift of a pair of shoes can increase a child’s confidence, attendance and performance at school, and we are so grateful to Liisa and Andrew Primack for taking the time to make such a positive impact on these kids.” Amy Fass – Executive Director, Shoes That Fit
“We are proud to support the next generation in Santa Barbara by donating shoes to children in need. Every child deserves the confidence and comfort that comes from having the right footwear. This donation is not just about giving shoes; it’s about empowering young minds and ensuring they have the resources to thrive. We believe that small acts of kindness can make a big difference, and we’re honored to contribute to their bright futures.” – Liisa Primack, SB Steps Up for Monroe.
“Every child deserves to step into their classroom with confidence and dignity. Thank you to Shoes That Fit for providing a simple yet powerful way to support kids’ growth and success in our community” – Supervisor Laura Capps
