Soles4Souls generously supplies us with hundreds of pairs of shoes and socks, allowing us to expand our impact and provide not just financial literacy but also essential footwear to children in need.

Our "Walking Towards a Brighter Future" program partners with schools to identify students facing economic hardship, including those under the McKinney-Vento Act. We then bring the excitement to them with a fun, interactive financial literacy workshop led by our amazing Dragonflies Mentoring Club (3rd-5th grade boys). These young leaders guide their peers through budgeting basics and smart spending choices, culminating in a mock "shopping trip" at a local shoe store.

But the real magic happens when each child receives a brand new pair of shoes and socks. You can see the transformation in their eyes – a boost of confidence, a sense of belonging, and the knowledge that someone cares.
