197 Children in Kentucky Have New Shoes through our Barefoot Program!

With school now in session and cold weather approaching, children throughout Appalachia are in need of new shoes. To meet this need, through our Barefeet program, children are taken to a shoe store and are able to pick out EXACTLY what pair of shoes they want each year.
