Happy Feet, a UWRC initiative launched in 2019, provides much-needed shoes to children in need. In the 2023/24 period, 101 pairs of shoes were given to Rutland students, serving 17 Rutland schools. Over the past few years, this initiative has made a remarkable impact, and we’re excited to continue nurturing the little feet that depend on us!
This program was born from the realization that local teachers and nurses were purchasing shoes for kids who couldn’t afford them. At United Way of Rutland County, we believe families, educators, and healthcare professionals should never have to worry about providing shoes for young ones.
