Together Gloucester, Inc.’s initiative to help students with sneakers for back to school was a HUGE success …. BIGGER than we could have ever imagined!  

❣️Not only were we able to help our local students start the school year off on the right foot, we were able to help a wide population of adult neighbors thanks to a donation of 355 pairs of sneakers from a generous friend at PUMA. 👟❣️👟❣️👟❣️👟❣️👟

A special thank you to the individuals that donated to our Venmo campaign!  We purchased new youth sneakers with those funds.  We also received a donation of 2 dozen pairs of new youth sneakers from PUMA. 

We were able to support our community partners at Wellspring House, Pathways for Children, Gloucester Police Department (Official), West Gloucester Trinitarian Congregational Church, and Gloucester Schools with new sneakers for children and students from pre-school to high school.  We also helped our local teachers and school resource officers Kops-n-Kids, Sro Brendan Chipperini, and SRO_Gaming_ with backpacks, a lunch box, new clothes, and school supplies. 👟🎒📓🧦👖✏️

Thanks to the overwhelming generosity of PUMA, we have also distributed several pairs of adult sneakers to the following organizations and community advocates over the past few weeks and hope to continue as needs arise
