SC4K works with a network of 24 social service agencies in Greater Cleveland strategically located in Greater Cleveland in communities with the greatest need. Families receive SC4K products directly from our Distribution Partners. Distribution Partners shop for shoes, clothing, and other items, at the SC4K Free Store. Partners also receive shoe passes, so children can choose their own shoes directly from the shelves of a local store retailer.   

Partners then meet with families to determine eligibility, schedule distributions at their sites, and distribute our products. The average distribution for clothing is valued at $350,000.00 and the average distribution of shoe passes is valued at approximately $26,000.00.  

One of the advantages of using our Distribution Partner Network for families is access to a wide variety of wrap-around services and programs close to home. Families may initially visit a distribution partner for help with shoes and clothes for their children, but end up participating in other programs that address the wide range of physical, economic, and socioemotional needs that families have, including GED education programs, job search and placement programs, childcare, health care, and more.
