Shoes and Clothes for Kids Our Mission: Shoes and Clothes for Kids’ mission is to improve K-8 school attendance by eliminating lack of appropriate clothing, shoes and school supplies as barriers.
What’s New? Shoes and Clothes for Kids continues to meet the needs of kids in poverty in the Cleveland area despite the pandemic. We’ve delivered thousands of bags of new clothing, school supplies, shoe vouchers, personal hygiene kits, laundry detergent and kids-sized masks to help kids finish school last spring, and have what they need to get back to school this fall in a virtual environment. Those kids need our help – your help – more than ever. Please visit our website to see videos ( sc4k.org/about/videos) about our programs and consider volunteering or donating today.
