Local families whose children might need new shoes for the fast-approaching school year will soon be able to register for the Kicks for the Kids giveaway, which will be Thursday, July 30 – Saturday, Aug. 1, at The Bethel Church located at 215 Bethel Baptist St.
This Positively JAX initiative has helped collect tens of thousands of pairs of shoes for local children in need since 2014.
We are now collecting new shoes for this year’s giveaway.
