Wills Point ISD parents with elementary school children, identified as part of the free and reduced lunch program, were offered the opportunity to participate in the Samaritan’s Feet Project April 4.

Samaritan’s Feet partnered with the Walmart Distribution in Terrell to provide new socks and shoes for 291 WPISD students from Kindergarten through 6th grade.

The Samaritan’s Feet Project began in 2003 and provides shoes to children as the foundation to a spiritual and healthy life resulting in the advancement of education and economic opportunities. Organizers stated that “Children grow very fast and sometimes it is hard to keep up with the demands of their growing bodies.”
