Heart & Sole® - Inner City Bakersfield

A brand-new pair of back-to-school shoes...

So many children in America's inner cities go back to school feeling embarrassed. Because their shoes are awful. Too small. Ragged. Holes in the toes. Soles flopping — like an advertisement that says, "I'm poor."

A brand-new pair of back-to-school shoes is more than a gift of compassion. It is a gift of dignity. A tangible expression of God's love ... setting the stage for transformation in a child's life ... introducing them to a friend called Jesus.
