About this organization
Mission
The Goodie Two Shoes Foundation provides disadvantaged children and children in crisis with new shoes and socks as well as other items deemed essential for good health and positive development.
About
THE GOODIE TWO SHOES FOUNDATION IS BASED ON THE PREMISE OF EMPOWERING CHILDREN THROUGH THE PROCESS OF CHOOSING SOMETHING OF THEIR VERY OWN. THE PROCESS BEGINS WITH ONSITE MEASUREMENT OF THEIR FEET TO ENSURE PROPER FIT. THEY ARE THEN PAIRED ONE-ON-ONE WITH A COMMUNITY VOLUNTEER WHOM TAKES A SPECIAL INTEREST AND WALKS THEM THROUGH THE PROCESS. THECHILD IS THE CENTER OF ATTENTION AND GOODIE TWO SHOES EMPOWERS THE CHILD WITH CHOICE; BY GIVING THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO SELECT ANY PAIR OF SHOES FROM A LARGE INVENTORY OF HIGH-QUALITY NEW ATHLETIC SHOES, JUST LIKE THE ONES THEIR FRIENDS AT SCHOOL ARE WEARING. DURING THE 2018/2019 SCHOOL YEAR, GOODIE TWO SHOES OUTFITTED 10,361 CHILDREN WITH NEW SHOES AND SOCKS. IN THE SHORT-TERM, GOODIE TWO SHOES PROGRAMMING PROVIDES SIMPLE NECESSITIES IN A FUN AND EXCITING ATMOSPHERE. LONG AFTER THE RECIPIENTS OUTGROW THEIR GOODIE TWO SHOES OF CHOICE, IT IS HOPED THAT THE CHILDREN REMEMBER THEIR POSITIVE INTERACTION WITH A CARING COMMUNITY VOLUNTEERAND THE FEELING OF EMPOWERMENT THAT CAME WITH MAKING AN UNRESTRAINED, POSITIVE CHOICE AND THAT THEY DRAW ON THAT EXPERIENCE WHEN MAKING DECISIONS IN THE FUTURE.GOODIE TWO SHOES FOUNDATION SERVES CHILDREN PRE-K TO 12TH GRADE, REFERRED BY SCHOOLS, SOCIAL SERVICE AGENCIES AND OTHER NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS DEDICATED TO ASSISTING CHILDREN IN NEED.SOME OF THE CHILDREN GOODIE TWO SHOES ASSISTS HAVE NEVER HAD A NEW PAIR OF SHOES OF THEIR OWN.ACCORDING TO THE CLARK COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT, THE LACK OF ADEQUATE ATTIRE, MOST NOTABLY SHOES AND SOCKS, SIGNIFICANTLY CONTRIBUTES TO EDUCATIONAL DEFICIENCY WITHIN THE DISTRICT. IT IS NOT UNCOMMON FOR ILL-FITTING SHOES TO REDUCE CLASSROOM FOCUS AND PARTICIPATION. IN ADDITION, THE OUTRIGHT LACK OF FOOTWEAR IS A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR TO NOT ONLY MISSED PHYSICAL EDUCATION CLASSES BUT ALSO LOWER OVERALL SCHOOL ATTENDANCE. IN SOME INSTANCES, SIBLINGS ACTUALLY SHARE A SINGLE PAIR OF SHOES, WHICH RESULTS IN AN ALTERNATING ATTENDANCE PATTERN. IF SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS HAVING A NEW PAIR OF PROPERLY FITTING SHOES CAN KEEP A CHILD IN SCHOOL AND POSITIVELY AFFECT THEIR GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT, THEN GOODIE TWO SHOES IS BUILDING A BETTER FOUNDATION ONE FOOT AT A TIME.SINCE 2010, GOODIE TWO SHOES HAS USED THEIR MOBILE SHOE UNIT, A 48 FOOT CUSTOM SHOE-STORE-ON-WHEELS WHICH TAKES PROGRAMMING DIRECTLY TO CHILDREN IN NEED AT THEIR SCHOOL OR REFERRING AGENCY.
