Join Young Professionals of Knoxville as we give back to our community at Shoes for School!

Knox Area Urban League's Shoes for School is an annual back-to-school event that provides new shoes and school supplies for more than 1,500 area children. These back-to-school basics give students stability and boost their self-esteem so that they can successfully start a new year in the classroom. This event includes booth sponsors and hundreds of volunteers who provide games, food and school supplies to kids in need.

YPK volunteers will help at the Young Professionals of Knoxville booth, passing out supplies and helping with games. Volunteers will need to arrive by 8, the event begins at 9. This opportunity is open to both YPK members and non-members; anybody is welcome to sign up.

You can purchase items to donate directly from our Amazon wishlist!

The event will take place at Caswell Park, 570 Winona St.
