Our most successful shoe distributions are ones leading families to take classes to change their lives, and then ultimately, not needing Buckner anymore. The families we serve become empowered to meet their needs rather than depending on charity.
In so many ways, a pair of shoes is a simple thing. It’s a simple answer to pressing health crises, an opportunity to go to school and a tangible proof of a child’s infinite worth. It’s so easy today to be overwhelmed by all of the need that exists around us, but we can start chipping away at that need by providing one pair of shoes to one child at a time, and through that action we can both shoe and change the world.
