Welcome to the Boots For Kids web site! Boots For Kids is a local non-profit organization that helps area children to stay warm and healthy by helping to provide them with warm winter clothing and dental supplies. This site is dedicated to providing information about the Boots For Kids organization and the ways that they, as well as you, can help the community!
Boots For Kids Mission Statement:
Our mission is to assist lower-economic families by providing new winter items such as boots, mittens/gloves, hats, socks, and dental supplies. These are some of the basic needs for living in Northern Michigan in the winter months. Besides providing warmth, these items also help to increase the child’s self-esteem by feeling better about themselves.
Every winter, hundreds of children in the Grand Traverse area leave their houses without proper clothing to keep them warm from the harsh temperatures. These children are walking to school or waiting outside at the bus stop. It is the mission of Boots For Kids to give new, warm, accurately sized boots, hats, socks, and mittens to these children. With the cooperation of area schools as well as corporate and individual donors, we can meet our goal of outfitting needy children in the Grand Traverse area with warm boots. Besides providing warmth, these items will also help children feel better about themselves.
