Montclair Place is partnering with Shoes That Fit, a Claremont-based nonprofit, in a back-to-school shoe drive running through Aug. 20.

To participate in the drive and help provide new athletic shoes for children in need, stop by Montclair Place’s Center Court where tags are hung with shoestrings on a peg board. Each tag has the first name, gender and shoe size of a child in need. Participants select a tag, buy shoes from one of 12 athletic shoe stores for the child described on the tag and bring the shoes to the donation bin in Center Court.

“One in five children in the United States lives in poverty, and shoes are one of the most expensive items for low-income families to provide,” Amy Fass, executive director of Shoes That Fit, said in a news release. “Having good shoes removes one worry for children who may be dealing with many struggles. Please consider helping children in need when preparing kids for the return to school.”

Montclair Place, at 5060 E. Montclair Plaza Lane, Montclair, is open 11 a.m.-8 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays, 10 am.-9 p.m. Saturdays and 11 a.m.-7 p.m. Sundays.

Shoes That Fit, a national nonprofit organization based in Claremont, delivered new athletic shoes to more than 180,000 children across the nation last year, according to the news release.
