Payless Gives Shoes 4 Kids

Smithtown, NY -- This winter, Payless Shoesource partnered with nonprofit agencies throughout the country in a grass roots campaign to deliver $1.2 million in free shoes to children of families in need.  With more than 2,900 nonprofits applying, Options was among 700 organizations selected.  Thanks to the 2009 Payless Gives Shoes 4 Kids Program, 75 gift certificates for new shoes were delivered to families in need in Options' programs just in time for the holiday season. 

Families in our programs need clothing and shoes for growing children.  A new pair of shoes can lift spirits, bolster self confidence and bring a huge smile to a child's face, especially when they get to pick the shoes out themselves, which makes the gift even more powerful.

Options is grateful to Payless Shoesource for their very generous support in this grass roots effort to reach the most needy of children.
