Shoe Program
more than shoes.
The Back to School Program provides income eligible school age children of Susquehanna County with a new pair of shoes from The New Shoe Store located in Montrose. We also provide new backpacks full of school supplies for these students. Having a new pair of shoes and a new backpack is something many take for granted, but is so important for children. It helps boost their self-esteem and equips them with the needed supplies to excel in school.
Call between July 1-26, 2024 to make an appointment.

“To see these families - the parents that didn’t think they would be able to give their children the experience [of new shoes] and be able to cover that month’s expenses, the children who are not used to getting the new things of their peers - shopping together as they discuss sneakers, new shirts and jeans for the fall, the simple joy and excitement, is beyond heartwarming.”
“This overall program [gives] pride to the students, a sense of belonging with their classmates, and eases the annual financial and emotional strain on struggling parents tremendously.”
