Hands4Hope - Youth Making A Difference, in partnership with ASPIREKids, will be hosting a
shoe drive for underprivileged children in our community on January 5th, 2023, at our PlacervilleYouth Center, 905 Spring Street, Placerville.
The committee will be accepting donations of new and gently used everyday shoes in all sizes. Donations can be dropped off from 2PM to 6PM.
Youth members of the ASPIRE Outfitters Committee, a joint program between Hands4Hope - Youth Making A Difference and ASPIREKids, have planned this shoe collection in order to
ensure students have shoes that fit well and are appropriate for the season and for everyday
wear.
Most needed are athletic /everyday wear shoes in boys and girls sizes 1-6 for elementary school age students, as well as men’s sizes 8-12 and women’s sizes 7-9 for teens. The shoes will be distributed by the Committee through emergency bags that are requested through schools and partner agencies of ASPIREKids and Hands4Hope - Youth Making A Difference.
All donations are appreciated. If you are unable to donate on January 5th, please email Melissa Placek, melissap@hand4hopeyouth.org or Jodi Mottashed, jodi@aspirekidssac.org to schedule a drop off.
Monetary donations are also being accepted in order to purchase needed shoes. Donations may be mailed to: Hands4Hope, 3941 Park Drive, Suite 20264, El Dorado Hills, CA 95762, or made online at www.hands4hopeyouth.org/donate (please add “shoe donation” to the memo).
ASPIREKids is a non-profit organization with a mission to help build resilience to trauma for at-risk and low income youth by providing access to normalcy. This is done through a variety of programs but primarily a scholarship program, STRIVE Scholarships, which allows youth to participate in normalcy and extracurricular activities and a clothing closet, ASPIRE Outfitters, which provides clothing, shoes and coats to our communities most vulnerable.
