Changing the world starts with a new pair of shoes.

Something as simple as a new pair of shoes can make a child feel empowered, confident, and fearless. They step into dignity and self-esteem. They join activities, they engage, they laugh, they begin to excel. And this changes everything. Over 97% of our students in the Palm Springs Unified School District are at or below poverty, 10% are homeless; shoes are one of the first signs of a child in poverty.
