TRANSITIONS WILL PROVIDE FREE SHOES TO CHILDREN IN NEED THROUGH PAYLESS GIVES™ SHOES 4 KIDS HOLIDAY GIVING PROGRAM

Transitions is pleased to announce that we have been selected as an official partner of Payless Gives^TM Shoes 4 Kids, an annual giving program from Payless ShoeSource. Transitions is one of more than 700 charitable agencies representing all 50 states in the United States.  Transitions will distribute merchandise certificates for children’s shoes to the families that they serve.

Transitions is a comprehensive victim services center that provides advocacy, empowerment and education to victims, survivors, families and communities to end domestic violence, sexual assault and other serious crimes in Union, Snyder and Northumberland Counties.  “We are happy to partner with Payless Gives^TM Shoes 4 Kids again this year to ensure that the children who we help receive a new, properly fitting pair of shoes this holiday season,” Chief Executive Officer, Susan Mathias said.

This is the seventh year of the Payless Gives^TM Shoes 4 Kids program. Although studies show that properly fitting shoes are important for children’s health and development, a striking number of children don’t own a pair of shoes that fit.   By helping families who struggle to provide their children with basic essentials on a daily basis, Transitions, in partnering with the Payless Gives^TM Shoes 4 Kids program, hopes to relieve some of the stress parents feel during the holidays and bring joy to as many children as possible.
