Temple Adat Elohim helps kids step forward in ‘Shoes That Fit.’
👟 Donate a new pair of shoes to a child in the Conejo Valley Unified School District (CVUSD) who is housing insecure by September 18.Sign up to purchase a pair of shoes »
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% improvement in behavior
Currently, approximately 625 children in CVUSD are considered housing insecure.
🙌 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 September 18, 2026.
- SIZING: The CVUSD Outreach Coordinator will measure students and share their names and shoe sizes by September 25.
- SELECT: You’ll receive an email inviting you to choose a child to shop for by the week of September 28.
- DROP OFF: Purchase and drop off the shoes in the designated bin at the TAE boardroom (in the foyer) by October 21.
