KRQE Cares hosting Shoes for Kids phone bank
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – KRQE Cares is holding a phone bank on Thursday, April 11 from 4 – 7 p.m. KRQE Cares has a mission to positively impact children in low-income families throughout the state of New Mexico.
Shoes for Kids is the largest KRQE Cares initiative, which helps children in Title I receive a new pair of shoes. Along with a new pair of shoes, children are provided with a snack, book, dental supplies and socks. KRQE’s community relations director Carolyn Rush says the program has even reached kids outside of Albuquerque, including Moriarty, Bernalillo, Rio Rancho, Jemez Pueblo and will be in Los Lunas next month.
Thanks to donations and support from the community, since 2015, over 29,000 pairs of shoes have been given to children in need. KRQE Cares works with the Assistance League of Albuquerque to get shoes to children in need. If you would like to support Shoes for Kids you have the option to donate online. Donations can also be made by phone during a KRQE Cares phone bank on Thursday April 11 between 4 – 7 p.m. at 1-877-715-7400.
