Dozens of Foot Locker associates will distribute nearly 5,000 pairs of brand new athletic shoes for what has become one of the largest back-to-school giveaways, thanks to a unique 29-year partnership with Fred Jordan Missions and Foot Locker.
The sorting of the shoes is part of the preparations underway at Fred Jordan Missions on Skid Row, in anticipation of the Back-to-School Giveaway on Oct. 5, 2017.
Thousands of underprivileged children will be given new Foot Locker shoes and socks. New clothes, backpacks, school supplies and hygiene kits are supplied by other generous partners. Stylists from Paul Mitchell Schools will provide haircuts, and In-N-Out will serve burgers and all the trimmings – sending the students back to school prepared to learn.
In the past 29 years, more than 150,000 children have received new shoes, clothes, backpacks, hairstyles, personal care kits, and school supplies valued at more than $35,000,000. All the items have been donated by caring individuals, schools, churches and companies.
The back-to-school giveaways will take place at FRED JORDAN MISSION, 445 Towne Avenue, Skid Row, Los Angeles (corner of East 5th Street & Towne Avenue) on October 3, 4, and 5.
