There are no words adequate enough to describe how thankful we are to have a partnership with Shoes 4 the Shoeless! Our kids were able to be fitted for shoes that actually fit them, to help their feet develop as they should and play without pain! We are so grateful for partners like you that care for our kids so well!

We spent the morning with another one of our favorite, and oldest partners - KIND Dayton, one of our communities most valuable assets and a true oasis to children in need.

During the school year, they operate as an after-school program where homework help, food, safety, fellowship, fun, laundry facilities, mentoring and more are given. During the summer they transition into a four morning a week program.

Life is extremely hard for thousands of children all around us, especially in the summer.They go hungry. They are not safe in their neighborhoods, and some not even in their own homes.

They have nothing to do and nowhere to go. They lack the basics like clean clothes, underwear, hygiene products such as toothbrushes and soap.

These children often carry heavy burdens of fear, despair and hopelessness.

We thank God for our partners at KIND. They do incredibly important and hard work on behalf of some of the most forgotten children in our area. They fill a gap no one else can.

We loved putting MUCH needed shoes and socks on their children today.Kids need to be able to run and play without their feet hurting.

Bringing relief is a privilege.

Such a great organization and event to be a part of! 💚

A special thanks to New Hope Church, Community Methodist Church Riverside, and KIND Dayton for donating items and coming out to make this event great!

We passed out over 50 pairs of beanies and gloves and 60 cups of hot cocoa to those in need in the city of Dayton. Out teens even took the opportunity to pray for people who needed it.

We can't wait for the next event!

We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving yesterday! We wanted to take the time to express how grateful we are for each and every one of our kids, their families, our staff, board of directors, and our donors! We couldn’t do what we do without everyone’s support and thank you just doesn’t seem sufficient enough!
