Shoes That Fit is a national, non-profit 501(c)3 organization based in Claremont, CA that provides new shoes to children in need. The mission of Shoes That Fit is to provide new shoes to children in need so they can attend school in comfort and with dignity, better prepared to learn and play. Shoes That Fit began in 1992 helping children at one elementary school in Pomona, CA. Today, Shoes That Fit programs exist in more than 2,000 elementary schools in 46 U. S. states and the District of Columbia. Since our founding, over 1.4 million new pairs of shoes and other necessities have been raised and distributed directly to schoolchildren in need. Shoes That Fit is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation and donations are tax deductible. Shoes That Fit pairs sponsors groups such as businesses, colleges, community service groups or groups of friends or coworkers-with schools in their own communities that have children in need. School staff identify the children who are most in need of new shoes and then measures the children with materials provided by Shoes That Fit. A local volunteer sponsor group can be started by anyone who can organize a group to purchase items. The sponsor purchases exactly what the children need and then delivers the items to the schools. School personnel have reported improvement in attendance, academic performance and socialization of children helped by Shoes That Fit. == References == *Fritz, J. (2010).
