Review for Shoes That Fit, Claremont, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

This is one of the most professional, friendly, helpful organizations I've encountered. In the past, I lived in the Claremont area and Shoes That Fit (STF) offered a warehouse and office tour to acquaint my 7 year old niece with their organization. While I lived near Claremont, I would buy reduced-cost athletic shoes and donate the shoes to STF, I always received a sincere thank-you note both from the office and from a child who received shoes. The stories the children tell are amazing - one story was from a child stating that they were so appreciative of their new shoes that they were going to wash them every night. The stories always reminded me of how much I take for granted that if I need/want new shoes, I go buy them. I like that the organization only gives athletic shoes to children, often girl shoes are impractical. I don't remember the statistic but know that Shoes That Fit is one of the top rated organizations for using donations for the actual purpose of the organization (low overhead, e.g.).

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

Give them more money.
