Mission Statement

My New Red Shoes (MNRS) works to improve the quality of life and well-being of children and youth experiencing economic hardship.

About This Cause

My New Red Shoes stabilizes families with low income and empowers them to meet the basic needs of their children and households with dignity. Our model is to respond to community needs by co-creating programs and solutions with nonprofit partners and clients to fill those needs. Our approach is community-centered, maximizes collective resources and strengthens the social safety net for children. Since 2006, we have delivered basic needs items to more than 240,000 children and their family members and distributed more than $2.5 million in direct cash support to households with low-income. Our work alleviates the impact of poverty on children and families while promoting dignity, belonging and equity. Program Initiatives: Direct Cash Assistance & Economic Mobility: We put money directly in the hands of families most impacted by economic inequality and injustice. Strengthening the Community Safety Net: We collaborate with, mobilize resources for, and help partner nonprofits meet the basic needs of children, expand their programs and services, and increase their overall impact. Advocacy: We create positive social change and reform by mobilizing and advocating for policies that reduce injustice and inequality, lift children and families out of poverty, and promote shared prosperity and opportunity.
