A new calendar year brought a new pair of shoes to Fayette County Public School students who could not afford them.
School counselor Maria Sherrod of Fayetteville Elementary received a $2,000 donation from Rack Room Shoes at the Fayette Pavilion for the purchase of new shoes for students in-need at the school. In the true spirit of giving, Sherrod shared the donation with the school system’s middle and high school counselors so that the gift would have a far-reaching effect.
Rack Room Shoes supports children in need in local communities by hosting a Shoes That Fit fundraiser during its Back to School campaign. Customers are invited to give to the cause through in-store and online contributions. The money raised is channeled through local school liaisons to identify students in-need for new footwear.
