Project Title: Sole Necessities
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
In Jacobs Shoes provides necessities to at-risk children\/youth including shoes, backpacks, school supplies, and athletic gear. Our goal is that no child goes without the fundamental tools needed for academic and personal achievement leading to life-long success. <\/p>\n
In 2022, we continued to provide increased support to our partners in Southern Palm Beach County including Boca Raton, Boynton Beach, Delray Beach and Lake Worth. We provided 17,220 shoes, 6,217 pairs of socks, and 363 backpacks filled with school supplies to at-risk children in Palm Beach County. <\/p>\n
Extreme poverty forces thousands of at-risk children\/youth to attend school ill-prepared and at a disadvantage among their peers. These children attend school in worn, ill-fitting shoes that are harmful to developing feet and also cause significant embarrassment\/emotional distress. Likewise, necessary school supplies, essential for academic success\/sports, are also beyond reach as is athletic equipment for sports and activities that promote physical health\/greater achievement. Childhood is the foundation where our futures are laid; a foundation incomplete when the fundamental needs for success are unavailable.<\/p>\n
We collaborate with over 250 local shelters, schools, charities, and social service organizations to meet the need. We partner with the Spirit of Giving Network of Charities and distribute shoes each year at their back to-school event known as \u201cThe Spirit of Giving Back-To-School Bash\u201d. We also provide for homeless students on a year-round basis by working directly with the Palm Beach County School District McKinney-Vento Homeless Education Program. We have grown to 40 shoe closets across Palm Beach County to ensure no child goes without Sole Necessities!<\/p>\n
We were again named a Top-Rated Non-Profit in 2022 by GREAT NON-PROFITS!<\/p>\n
