The San Antonio Police Department and Zapatos wrapped up the annual Share the Shoes campaign on December 16th but gifting new footwear to kids who need it most continues into the new year.

A good pair of socks and shoes is something so many families take for granted – and it is something that so many families need.

Helping children achieve success from their first steps into school and into college.

SAN ANTONIO – This holiday season, KSAT Community held its annual ‘Share the Shoes’ drive with SAPD substations to benefit Zapatos, Inc.With help from the community of San Antonio, 2,070 shoes were collected for children on all ages. “We have approximately 2,070 shoes that have been donated, it was double of what we did last year,” said SAPD Officer Doug Greene. Vans and police cars were being loaded up this morning throughout San Antonio to help distribute the shoes to the six SAPD substations. No child should be burdened by the shoes on their feet and no family should have to decide between shoes and dinner. KSAT Community operates in partnership with University Health, Energy Transfer and Randolph-Brooks Federal Credit Union.

SAN ANTONIO – Every year KSAT Community partners with the San Antonio Police Department and the local nonprofit Zapatos to help collect shoes for kids in our community. We are now entering the final days of the Share the Shoes drive and some San Antonio police cadets were able to raise a good amount of money to help the cause. SAPD cadet Cora Mainz and her class were able to raise more than $1500 dollars to help buy new shoes for kids. “Toddler shoes at five, six, half sizes because we give shoes to kids that are of pre-K to 4; some of our kids are three-years-old,” Martínez said. As for the cadet, she joined the rest of the SAPD members this morning to pick out shoes to donate.
