“It is amazing that we have been able to meet the needs of so many children within our region. There is a lot of work still to be done and we will continue to serve,” said founder and Executive Director Kris Horlacher.
The city of Springfield also is planning to issue a proclamation declaring Friday as “Shoes 4 the Shoeless Day” to honor this milestone.
