Last summer, Elysian School student Reese Danhof noticed a little boy on her playground who was sitting sadly on a swing, wearing winter snow boots. She wondered why he would be wearing boots when it was 90 degrees outside and she discovered it was because the little guy didn t have any shoes. She went home, grabbed her savings and told her mom they needed to stop at Famous Footwear and buy some shoes for him.
Fast forward six months and Reese s idea of helping out school-aged kids in Montana get new shoes has now grown into a legitimate 501(3)c non-profit. They have already given out over 50 pairs of shoes to kids in four Billings area schools. Reese, her mom Holly and other Kicks for Kids 406 volunteer staffers are hoping to eventually expand the program across Montana.
