Review for Jacob S Zweig Foundation Inc DBA in Jacob's Shoes, Deerfield Beach, FL, USA
Since 2009, when 'In Jacob's Shoes' was begun in memory of Jacob Zweig, the generosity of thousands of volunteers and contributors who have provided well over 25,000 pairs of shoes and over $155,000.00 in grants to needy children throughout Broward, Palm Beach and Miami Dade Counties in Southeast Florida.
It is heartwarming to see the faces of the children picking out their shoes prior to the start of the new school year. It is also a joy to know that the grant money is used to buy school supplies, athletic gear, help in after-care and summer camp experiences for these less fortunate children.
'In Jacob's Shoes' will continue to support these children with opportunities they might not otherwise have and, most importantly, to attend school prepared and with dignity.
More Feedback
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
get more people involved in the care and cleaning of the shoes coming in to be 'reconditioned' for the use of these needy children.
