Zapatitos Information

Translated from Spanish, Zapatitos means "little shoes" or alternatively, "little steps". Our goal is to provide essential clothing items, such as socks, shoes, shirts and pants to disadvantaged children, specifically to children entering into foster care for the first time. It is not uncommon for foster children to experience neglect and abuse at the hands of their foster parents. Even with the best foster parents, the transitional process into a foster program is often very difficult. Our job is to make this transition a little more comfortable by providing a Care Package consisting of a backpack, clothing items, shoes and if possible, a toy. Our organization is currently pending tax-exempt IRS 501(c)(3) status. Please visit our website www.zapatitos.org (currently under construction) in the coming weeks for more information.
