Every child deserves
shoes that fit.
When budgets are tight, families often can't afford new shoes.
February 2027
Imagine a child unable to fully enjoy the simple joys of childhood because they lack proper shoes. New shoes can transform their world in ways you might not expect. They bring dignity, joy, and confidence, allowing kids to step into their lives with pride.
Your generous support can make this vision a reality, together, we can help these children experience the happiness and confidence that come with having shoes that fit. $35 will purchase one pair of shoes and two pairs of socks for one child.
Each February, AdventHealth Ottawa Foundation and AdventHealth Ottawa partner with Shoes That Fit to ensure that elementary school students in Franklin County, who are on the free and reduced lunch program, receive brand new shoes and socks.
