SUMMARY:Shoes for Students
DESCRIPTION:A new pair of shoes can help a student walk into the school year feeling comfortable\, confident\, and ready to learn. \n\n\n\nThrough Shoes for Students\, the Coalition provides school shoe vouchers to local children whose families are facing financial hardship. Our goal this year is to help 275 students across Moore County\, and every donation brings us one step closer. \n\n\n\nA gift of $50 can provide shoes for an elementary school student\, while $75 can provide shoes for a middle or high school student. \n\n\n\nTogether\, we can offer care that hits close to home and help local students start the year on the right foot.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSandhills Coalition
