Dallas police, companies step up to ‘Share the Shoes'
Cops on the beat in Dallas did something good the other day when they joined forces with two companies to put shoes on the feet of hundreds of kids.
Employees jumped in and worked together to donate $10,000 worth of sneakers, then showed up to help kids get the right fit. The annual Share the Shoes initiative started in 2017 with Officer Brian Nolff. The inspiration behind the shoe donation came from officers in patrol who encountered children that did not have proper footwear. While children get much-needed shoes, officers get the chance to build positive relationships within the community.
