“This has touched a lot of students’ hearts. They have been very excited. Not only is it a relief for families, we have several siblings here as well, so they are going to go home with new shoes. They have built relationships with every single volunteer that I have seen with these kids,” said Tonya McCullough with Hodgin Elementary School.
So far, more than 29,000 pairs of shoes have been donated to kids at Title 1 schools, thanks to the generous support of KRQE’s viewers.
