How It Works: Shoes & Clothes Distribution

SC4K works with social service agencies in Greater Cleveland strategically located in areas with the greatest need. The average distribution for clothing to those agenices is valued at $350,000 and the average distribution of shoe passes is valued at approximately $26,000. SC4K does not charge its Distribution Partners or its recipients any product or services.

Distribution Process

Beyond serving the basic needs of thousands of deserving children, SC4K serves as a change agent for area families living in poverty. By providing new clothes and shoe gift cards through our Distribution Partner network, we can connect these families with other important programs and services working to improve and enrich their lives. These programs include food pantries, GED education programs, resale.
