Since elementary schools in my county are preK-6 any child's size will help. What I suggest is maybe picking a school and donating new shoes to school counselor. What happens is some students either don't get new shoes every year or in winter time only have sandals to wear. This works well for jackets as well. You would not believe the amount of students that don't have jackets to wear when it is cold. The school can keep a stash as students need them. Iusually wait until school starts and specifically compile a list based on need. My supporters will then go shopping for specific students and deliver shoes to school.
