For the second consecutive year, PCV Murcor’s nonprofit, PCV|VRM Seeds of Hope, partnered with Shoes That Fit to provide elementary students from low-income families in the Pomona, CA school district with new shoes for the school year.
Shoes That Fit tackles one of the most visible signs of poverty in America by giving kids in need new athletic shoes to attend school with dignity and joy, prepared to learn, play and thrive, helping more than 100,000 kids each year.
We set a goal to donate 40 pairs and our employees answered the call, surpassing the goal by donating a total of 46 pairs. Scroll through the pages below to learn more and to see some of the wonderful thank you cards we received from the students who received new shoes.
Together, Shoes That Fit and PCV|VRM Seeds of Hope are making an immediate and lasting difference for kids in need, giving them the confidence they need to step forward and thrive at school each day.
A new pair of shoes can be a life-changing event for a child. School attendance, self-esteem, and behavior improve. Physical activity increases. Smiles return. Shoes That Fit’s vision is that, one day, every child in America who needs new shoes gets new shoes, allowing all children the opportunity to reach their highest potential.
