Shoes That Fit: Help a Child Start the School Year on the Right Foot
👟 Donate a new pair of shoes to a child in the Conejo Valley Unified School District (CVUSD) who is unhoused.Click here to sign up >>
Many children wear shoes that are too small, too worn, or have never had a brand-new pair of their own. Your donation could provide a child with their first pair of new shoes, and with it, a sense of hope, dignity, and joy.
📈 Impact of a New Pair of Shoes:
- 87% increase in self-esteem
- 70% increase in physical activity
- 56% improved behavior
Currently, around 250 children in CVUSD are considered unhoused.
🙌 TAE is proud to partner with the district through our Shoes That Fit program, established in 2017.
Donors receive a child’s name, shoe size, and shoe type, then buy a new pair and drop them off at the temple. The shoes are subsequently delivered to the child through their school.
How it Works:
- SIGN UP: Sign up to commit to purchasing a pair of shoes by October 8, 2025.
- SIZING: The CVUSD Outreach Coordinator will measure students and share their names and shoe sizes.
- SELECT: You’ll receive an email inviting you to choose a child to shop for by mid-October.
- DROP OFF: Purchase and drop the shoes in the designated bin at the TAE office by November 8, 2025.
