SHOES THAT FIT AND CLARK COUNTY JOIN FORCES TO PROVIDE NEW ATHLETIC SHOES TO LOCAL KIDS
“New shoes can be very expensive for families struggling to make ends meet, it is great to see these organizations come together to give so many local kids the shoes they need and take some financial stress off of hard-working families.” TICK SEGERBLOM – Clark County Commissioner
"One in five children in the United States live in poverty, and shoes are one of the most expensive items for low-income families to provide. When families must choose between putting food on the table or buying new shoes for school, you can imagine that food wins every time. The simple gift of a pair of shoes can increase a child's confidence, attendance, and performance at school, and we are so thankful that Clark County is taking the time to make such a positive impact on these kids." AMY FASS – Executive Director & CEO, Shoes That Fit
