"I've Never Had New Shoes Before." with Amy Fass, Shoes That Fit
About this episode
Amy Fass discusses the impact of providing new shoes to unsheltered children in the U.S. and the work of Shoes That Fit.
More than 1.3 million children in the United States are unsheltered — and for many of them, a pair of new athletic shoes is not a given but a barrier, to school attendance, to team participation, to the simple feeling of belonging. Amy Fass, Executive Director of Shoes That Fit, joins Care More Be Better to share what happens when a child who has never owned new shoes opens a brand new box for the first time, and how her organization has delivered more than one million pairs of sneakers to kids in need across all 50 states.
