Euclid Kiwanis brings "Boots and Shoes" to Euclid children

Brothers helping each other find the perfect boots and shoes for the season.

The annual "Boots and Shoes" community outreach program of the Kiwanis Club of Euclid took place on November 11th and 18th at Payless ShoeSource located at 22388 Lakeshore Boulevard in Euclid, OH.

Over 70 children from Euclid City Schools were selected by school administrators and the Euclid Board of Education to receive a $25 gift certificate to Payless ShoeSource. For this special event, the staff at Payless ShoeSource kept the store open outside of normal business hours to allow the guests of the Kiwanis Club of Euclid to purchase boots and shoes for the winter months. Each family who participated expressed their sincere gratitude for the opportunity to receive boots and shoes in preparation for the winter season.

A special thanks is extended to the Lakeshore Boulevard Payless ShoeSource team for another successful event. “The Payless staff is so kind and helpful in making sure we get the most out of our gift certificate,” said a parent of a child who participated in the Boots and Shoes program. The Kiwanis Club of Euclid would like to recognize Marie Dula, Chairperson, and Sue Micco, Member, of the Youth Services Committee for organizing the entire event and providing the recipients with gloves and a special holiday treat.

The Kiwanis Club of Euclid is part of Kiwanis International – a community service organization aimed at “Serving the Children of the World – One Community at a Time.” Euclid Kiwanis has been serving the Euclid community since it was chartered in 1927.
