Shoe Distributer since 2003
The Knoxville Area Urban League is thrilled to spotlight Shoe Carnival's incredible contribution as our shoe distributor since 2003. For over two decades, Shoe Carnival has been an indispensable partner, enabling KAUL to fulfill our mission of providing high-quality shoes to children aged 5-12 in need, free of charge.
Shoe Carnival's unwavering commitment to children, families, and the community is truly remarkable. Their dedication extends beyond providing shoes; they consistently offer low bulk rates, enabling us to maximize our resources and reach more children. Thanks to Shoe Carnival's steadfast support, we've ensured that every child receives a brand-new pair of shoes to kick off the school year on the right foot.
We're immensely grateful for Shoe Carnival's ongoing partnership and their belief in our cause. Their generosity has profoundly impacted countless children's lives, empowering them with the confidence and comfort they deserve.
