It’s hard to believe that the summer is in full swing and we are getting ready for our 6th Annual Back to School Shoe Drive! We are incredibly excited to continue this tradition that has allowed us to provide over 800 pairs of shoes in our community since we started in 2018.
We know that starting the school year off on the right foot is important and this is why our organization works to provide brand new shoes to families in need. Our families submit requests for help, and we do our best to meet those requests for them. We have averaged around 150 requests per year over the last two years and anticipate that number increasing.
All shoes provided will be by request only so please make sure you fill out the form if help is needed. We ask families to please fill out one form per child. https://go.ourfuturefirst.org/2024shoerequest
As is the case with all of our work, none of this would be possible without you and we need your help! We have several ways for you to get involved with our shoe drive.
– Make a monetary donation! Just click here to make a tax-deductible donation. We will use 100% of that money to purchase shoes for our families. Just visit https://go.ourfuturefirst.org/2024shoedrive to make a tax-deductible donation.
– Drop off some new shoes! If you’re local to the area, feel free to drop off some new shoes of any size at Wildflower Vegan Cafe in Millville.
– Sponsor a family! We have families of all sizes that have made requests for help. We can match you with a family that meets your budget, you purchase shoes for their children, drop off to us, and we will distribute to them. Send an email to contact@ourfuturefirst.org to get started.
We would like to thank you in advance for any help that you can provide to support our community endeavors. This initiative has been very successful over the years and we hope to see it continue to succeed as the need for help continues to increase
