 When a gentleman with a British accent began phoning our headquarters here in Claremont, CA asking to speak to executive director Roni Lomeli, we thought nothing out of the ordinary. When he called again but preferred not to identify himself or leave a message, our interest was peaked. After his third call, he gladly told us his name was John Cooke and he was a correspondent for the National Enquirer! The Enquirer was doing a series of articles entitled, Acts of Kindness which spotlights individuals or organizations that are making a difference and improving the lives of others around them. With an average of 576,000 copies sold each week, we are thrilled about the possibilities this article could bring. Whatever your opinion of the magazine, we think Mr. Cooke did a fantastic job of capturing who and what Shoes That Fit is all about! Click on the image below to read the full article.

  • Saturday, August 14th, Grassroots Acoustica will hold a fundraising concert for Shoes That Fit! The event takes place at The Talking Stick Coffee Lounge, a no-frills coffeehouse in Venice, CA.  In lieu of a cover charge, the musicians keep collection baskets on the tables for patrons to contribute to. None of the musicians is paid; Grassroots Acoustica doesn't take any kind of cut; 100% of any money that ends up in their baskets will go to Shoes That Fit. Without ever charging a cover, Grassroots Acoustica's 37 shows to date have raised $28,860 for L.A.-area non-profit organizations.

 


  • United Way Campaigns are now underway. If your employer offers charitable contributions through payroll deductions through UW, you can write in “Shoes That Fit” as the charity of your choice. Live United!
