Good for Kids is delighted to have been designated as a Giving Partner by TOMS, a company that gives a pair of new shoes to a child in need, for every pair it sells. TOMS commitment is ongoing: they send shoes not just once but repeatedly, as children grow.
In the early fall 2011, a team from Good For Kids traveled to Costa Rica to join local volunteers in distributing thousands of pairs shoes to children in LaCarpio and other communities of similar need. Besides providing needed shoe wear and foot protection, the shoes, which are black, have enabled many children who could not otherwise afford to attend school to now qualify to do so, as the shoes meet the standard for costly, government required school uniforms.
We are now making plans for our next round of TOMS shoes distribution, scheduled for July, 2011.
Anyone interested in assisting with this exciting project is invited to contact us for more information at info@goodforkids.org.
