My Nonprofit Reviews

I have had the opportunities to volunteer assisting with Sock Prep Day and a Shoe Distribution Event. It was great interacting and getting to know other volunteers during Sock Prep Day. The Shoe Distribution Event was inspiring! GTSF outfit so many children with new socks and shoes in the community. Working with the children fitting them for shoes and seeing how excited and happy they are to have something that most people take for granite as a basic need. I grow up not having these same basic needs. I remember being teased and ridiculed because of going to school with holes in my shoes and duck tape wrapped around them to hold them together because my parents couldn't afford to buy used shoes let alone new shoes. Although I was a child I understood the burden on my parents trying to provide me with the basics and how hard it was for them. Being able to outfit children with shoes and socks does so much more then make them happy, it builds the children's self-esteem and confidence and eases the parents burden and stress of not being able to provide for their children. What a difference it would have made in my life as a child to have a foundation like the Goodie Two Shoes. I am proud and honored to be a volunteer for such an important foundation that is making such an impact on so many children's lives.
