Goodfellow Shoe Fund
About this Organization
In December 1947, representatives of five North Platte organizations met and saw a need to help school children have good footwear to be comfortable and ready to learn.
The all volunteer Goodfellow Shoe Fund continues this service today.
Two local shoe stores have trained staff who strive to fit each child correctly. The Sports Shoppe and Browns Shoe Fit work with a Goodfellow volunteer to serve each family. Applications for shoes can be picked up at the North Platte Public Library at 120 West 4th, North Platte. The application is returned to the library. A Goodfellow volunteer contacts the parent or guardian to buy the footwear. Each child also receives 2 pair of socks. Our goal this year is to buy 500 pairs of shoes for Lincoln County children in need. All funds are donated by individuals , organizations or businesses and can be made to honor someone or in memory of a loved one.
