Their Back to School Backpack Campaign is underway and the community is being asked to pick up a backpack from participating businesses and organizations in Claremont, Pomona, Upland and Brea, and fill the backpack with a brand new pair of sneakers, socks and school supplies. Amy Fass, Executive Director and CEO of Shoes That Fit, explains how a new pair of shoes increases a child's attendance at school and their confidence.
