Beginning its 19th year, Happy Feet provides shoes, boots, and socks to children ages 1 through 19 in need throughout Branch County.

Program's goals include promoting healthy feet now and in the future, reducing the risk of bullying, improving learning by preventing the discomfort of cold or painful feet, and encouraging school attendance by ensuring children have appropriate footwear during the winter months.

The program has grown significantly since its first year when 80 pairs of shoes and boots were provided at a cost of $1,000.

It's always a wonderful, heartwarming and fundraising day.
