In 2019, Shoes and Clothes for Kids will mark its 50th year of positively impacting the lives of greater Cleveland’s neediest children. When our founder, Morrie Sayre, learned that many children in Cleveland lacked adequate footwear, he worked with the local YMCA to collect and distribute shoes. He and his friends sometimes kept supplies of shoes in the trunks of their cars so they could hand them out to kids on the playgrounds. Soon Mr. Sayre engaged his inner circle and began raising money to purchase new shoes.

SC4K owes a huge thank you to Marc Bona for donating a portion of the proceeds from his new book, The Game Changer, to Shoes and Clothes for Kids. Please help support SC4K by purchasing The Game Changer, www.tinyurl.com/gamechangerbona

It can often be difficult for low-income parents to pay for certain necessities and basic school supplies. Producer Roselyn Muniz visited a year-round store that serves teachers in our community and helps bridge the gap between great need and available resources.

On the evening of January 9, 2018, a pipe burst on an upper floor of The Intergenerational School, a charter school located in Cleveland, Ohio. Through the night, water flooded the entire building until a teacher found it the next morning.

Nearly everything in the school was destroyed.
