      Assemblymember Chris Holden hosted his Annual Shoe Drive with key community partner, Shoes That Fit, to provide new athletic shoes to children in need.

      By News Desk

      The shoe drive took place at his District Office on December 13, 2023, featured the La Cañada High School string quartet, light refreshments including delicious pastries from Vrej (the 41st District Small Business of The Year recipient) and updates on legislative successes.

      Assemblymember Chris Holden said:

      A good reliable pair of shoes can take you far in life and each year we get to show kids just how much this community cares about them and their fundamental well-being. It is always a pleasure to come together with Shoes That Fit and ensure that when our kids step out into the world that they are able to put their best foot forward.”

      Shoes That Fit, based in Claremont California, has given  over 2.3 million children in need new athletic shoes to attend school with dignity and joy.. Over the years, thanks to participation from the community, Assemblymember Holden’s shoe drive has collected over 1,000 pairs of shoes for Shoes That Fit.
