STUFF THE TRUCK Shoe Drive
Friday, August 4 th ~ 10am
Toyota of Cedar Park, located at 5600 183A in Leander
Did you know that we have children failing PE because they do not have the proper shoes?
Without proper shoes that fit, kids aren’t able to enjoy the typical experiences of childhood. New shoes do more than you can imagine! New shoes help kids step into
childhood with dignity, joy, and confidence.
According to the nonprofit Shoes That Fit, being given a pair of new shoes improves school attendance by 44%, participation in physical activity by 72%, and classroom behavior by 63%.
Providing those children in need with a new pair of shoes report an increase in self-esteem. 1 in 5 children are in desperate need of a new pair of shoes.
How YOU can help?
Bring a pair of brand-new athletic shoes (name-brand preferred) to our Stuff the Truck event on Friday, August 4 th at Toyota of Cedar Park. If you can’t make it that day, you can bring your shoe donations anytime between July 12 th - August 4 th to Toyota of Cedar Park, located at 5600 183A in Leander. Toyota of Cedar Park is supporting the event by offering a free oil and filter change, alignment check, and multi-point inspection video (valued at $149) for every family who donates. Limit - one per family.
“Stuff the Truck” supports HCCM’s Laces for Leander program by collecting new, name-brand athletic shoes for students in grades K-12 that are on a free or reduced lunch program. In 2022, more than 1000 pairs of shoes were distributed, and we know we can top that this year!
Stuff the Truck is held at the conclusion of the student-led shoe drive competition, and the winning team receives a trophy and bragging rights for collecting the most shoes.
