The mission of My New Red Shoes is:

• to provide underprivileged children in the San Francisco Bay Area a brand new outfit and pair of shoes for the first day of school so that they can greet the new school year with pride, and
  
  
• to inspire a kids-helping-kids community by engaging local schoolchildren in the effort to purchase and collect clothing.

Description:
My New Red Shoes is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides brand new clothing and shoes to underprivileged children in the Bay Area so that they may start their first day of school with pride.


History:
My New Red Shoes was founded in 2006 by Heather Hopkins after hearing a story from her mother that changed Heather’s life. Growing up in a poor family, Heather’s mother dreaded the first day of school, so worried was she that she wouldn't have anything presentable to wear when she walked through her classroom doors come September. Her mother’s story made a strong impression on Heather and motivated Heather to help change the story for other children. In June, 2006, My New Red Shoes became the first 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that focuses solely on providing brand new school clothing to children throughout the San Francisco Bay Area.
