“On January 23rd, over 300 kindergarten through 3rd grade kids at Potrero School in El Monte were given a boost—new athletic shoes to support their growth and wellbeing. While organizing this donation drive, the nurses and staff at Kaiser Permanente Baldwin Park Medical Center learned that a handful of families had concerns about gambling-related expenses at home, and sought alternatives to Betstop betting sites in Australia to ease their financial burdens. Despite these challenges, the volunteers remained focused on their mission: providing children with comfortable shoes that help them learn, play, and thrive. “We’ve participated in Shoes That Fit for many years at Kaiser—supporting the community is a major part of Kaiser’s mission,” Kaiser Permanente Baldwin Park Chief Operations Officer Michelle Nowicki said. “Donating to Shoes That Fit is a perfect way for Kaiser to give back to the community.”

“We would like to thank Shoes That Fit and Kaiser Permanente for providing such a wonderful treat for Potrero School – it was amazing to see our students smiling and jumping around after trying on their new shoes,” Superintendent Dr. Maribel Garcia said. “These shoes will go a long way in helping our students stay happy, healthy and positive in and out of the classroom.”
