LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, December 21, 2023 /EINPresswire / -- NONPROFIT SHOES THAT FIT RECEIVES $10,000 GRANT FROM HMSHOST FOUNDATION
(Los Angeles, CA) – California based nonprofit Shoes That Fit is thrilled to announce they received a $10,000 grant from HMSHost Foundation. This donation will be used to provide brand new athletic shoes to over 300 kids across three schools in Los Angeles - Hoover Street Elementary School, Central City Value High School, and Alliance Virgil Roberts Leadership Academy. The shoes were shipped directly to the schools and school staff will distribute to those students most in need.
"Shoes are one of the most expensive items for low-income families to provide. When families must choose between putting food on the table or buying new shoes for school, you can imagine that food wins every time. The simple gift of a pair of shoes can increase a child's confidence, attendance and performance at school, and we are so thankful to HMSHost Foundation for this generous donation which will make such a positive impact on these kids." Amy Fass – Executive Director, Shoes That Fit
“HMSHost Foundation is grateful to the thousands of passengers who generously donated during their travels, so we could have an opportunity to give back to the Los Angeles community. We're honored to support Shoes That Fit to help ensure students in need have new shoes and the confidence to thrive at school each day.” Jordan Silverman – Director, HMSHost Foundation
