Yesterday, community came together in a powerful way at OJ Semmes Elementary for the 2026 Shoe Giveaway, ensuring students started the year with confidence, one new pair of shoes at a time.
This impactful event was made possible through the generous support of Bealls and Derrick Brooks Charities, whose commitment to giving back continues to make a meaningful difference for families and students in our community.
We also extend a heartfelt thank you to the Pensacola Police Department and the more than 65 volunteers who dedicated their time and energy to make the day run smoothly. From organizing shoes to helping students find the perfect fit, their efforts helped turn a simple act of generosity into a memorable experience for everyone involved.
Events like this remind us that when organizations, volunteers, and community partners work together, we can create positive moments that leave a lasting impact.
Thank you to everyone who helped make the OJ Semmes Elementary Shoe Giveaway 2026 such a success.
