My New Red Shoes (MNRS) works to improve the quality of life and well-being of children and youth experiencing economic hardship. At the core of our work is the belief that every child deserves to live a healthy and productive life. Our model is to work with agency partners and clients to identify needs and gaps in community services and mobilize resources to help nonprofits, and other public and private sector partners to meet the basic needs of children and families. Since 2006, we have provided new shoes, clothing, and other high-need items to more than 240,000 children and their family members and distributed more than $2.5 million in cash and cash equivalents to improve children's access to basic needs and provide stability to households struggling to make ends meet.
