Are children embarrassed to receive the item of clothing?
Children are frequently embarrassed by their circumstances, and do not want the stigma of being a child “in need”. Therefore, we recommend that new shoes and clothes should be given to children in private. If you would like to begin helping a child today, click here to make a donation, or click here to start your own Shoes That Fit chapter. How do the parents of the child receiving the item know where the new clothes/shoes came from? Our program supplies several tools to help manage a Shoes That Fit chapter, and one of these is a “note to the parents” that explains the Shoes That Fit program, and where the new shoes and clothing came from.
