Help us get kids ready for school!

Eight events are held across a 5-country region (Antrim, Benzie, Grand Traverse, Kalkaska, and Leelanau). Shoes and all services are provided at no cost to kids toddler age through high school (grade 12).

Thank you to Golden Shoes for their support and partnership to help us order New Balance shoes at a discount. Want to donate to this event to help kids and families? Donations help us purchase shoes, socks, school supplies, and help with transportation and event costs as well as marketing. Our community helps make this event a success!

Want to volunteer? We could not put on these awesome events without the help of our dedicated volunteers. Interested in helping? Email mwilliams@fatherfred.org.

Events begin July 28 and goes through August 8.
