About Shoe-In-For-School-Success

Help Baltimore Youth Step Into Success This School Year

👟✨ A new pair of shoes can do more than complete a back-to-school outfit — it can spark confidence, restore dignity, and set the tone for a successful academic year. This back-to-school season, The Salvation Army of Central Maryland is proud to partner with FOX 45 Baltimore and Kaiser Permanente to ensure local students start the year off on the right foot — literally.

💬 Why It Matters: Many children in our community return to school without shoes that fit properly — or without shoes at all. This simple need can become a barrier to participation, focus, and self-esteem. You can change that.

💛 Your Gift = Their Fresh Start Every donation helps us provide brand new, properly fitted shoes for Baltimore-area youth in need. Shoes that empower them to walk into class feeling confident, proud, and ready to learn. Let’s make school success a shoe-in — together!

🎁 Give now and help a child take their first confident step into the classroom.
