Earlier this month, members of Cypress Children’s Advocacy Council (CCAC) distributed shoes and socks to students attending Clara J. King Elementary School.
Coordinated through Club King, the Boys and Girls Club’s King School location, students were brought to the multi-purpose room where CCAC members helped the children try on the shoes and choose several pairs of socks. Initially launched in 2012, the shoe project continues to bring smiles to students and parents alike.
“Our shoe project has become the favorite among CCAC member. Experiencing firsthand the joy brought to the children through new shoes and socks is extremely heartwarming. My hope is to expand our program in the future so that every child in our community begins the school year with new shoes and socks,” said CCAC President Stacy Berry.
Founded in 1986, Cypress Children’s Advocacy Council is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization assisting at-risk children in the community with clothing, medication, school supplies, etc. For more information, contact Stacy Berry at stacyberry1996@gmail.com.
