STEVENS POINT — Local Attorney Jason Studinski has donated more than 50 pairs of new shoes to the Evergreen Community Initiative of Stevens Point. The donations will go to elementary-aged boys and girls in need.
“As the youngest of six children, I remember new shoes were always in high demand growing up,” said Studinski in a news release. “I want to give struggling families one less thing to worry about this fall.”
The Evergreen Community Initiative is a nonprofit organization that runs programs such as a community meal and food pantry, The Place of Peace; a children’s clothing pantry, Kids Closet; and a warming center for homeless people.
“There’s always more need than we can supply when it comes to back-to-school shoes for the families we serve,” said Tiffany Krueger, co-chairwoman of the nonprofit.
