Shood - Shoes for Good
Winner of 4th quarter 2023 funds

River City Givers met on October 17th to learn about 3 local charities and to select one as the recipient for 4th Quarter 2023 funds. Shood - Shoes for Good, was announced as the recipient! Their mission is to provide a pair of new or "like new", well fitting running shoes to children in economically disadvantaged communities in and around RVA. Shood has several focused programs, targeting a variety of needs, such as track programs and girls running. Once supplying shoes to only high school students, their mission has been expanded to include middle schoolers as well.

Member Mary Gill, who had was fortunate to have participated in a recent distribution, provided us and impassioned and enthusiastic account of her experience.

Since their inception, Shood estimates that they have provided over 20,000 pairs of shoes to children in our own community!

The mission of Rising Creek Family Connections is to work through local domestic violence agencies to provide housewares to recently transitioned families leaving abusive situations to help set up their new home so they can better focus on employment, education and housing stability. The funds will enable them to provide families with even greater support by enhancing the housewares they provide and helping to offset the cost of obtaining critical furniture from the CARITAS furniture bank.
