My Project

I currently work in a school that has over 70% of the population qualifying for free or reduced lunch. Ten years ago, I started a sneaker closet in my school. Over these ten year, I have given away hundreds of sneakers to students to students in need. I started this closet because I would see my students come to school with extremely smelling sneakers, sneakers that were falling apart and sneakers that just didn't fit. I accept donations from my community. I currently have about 20 pairs of sneakers left. My issues is they are not the correct sizes. I am asking for a large donation because I need sneakers in different sizes.
