2nd Annual Shoes with Souls Event Saturday August 1st 2026
|
Thirty-eight local students received a special back-to-school boost during the second annual Shoes with Souls campaign led by the nonprofit Having Understanding Means Acting Now, or H.U.M.A.N. The campaign provides new shoes and other school essentials through a VIP shopping experience at Ross Dress for Less in Sequim.
Story: https://www.sequimgazette.com/.../shoes-with-souls-helps.../ The nonprofit, founded by Darrin and Alicia Liggins of Liggins Landscaping in Sequim, raised $4,000 this year to support the program. Each participating student received a $100 Ross gift card to purchase shoes, clothing or other items needed for the upcoming school year. Ross opened its doors early for the Saturday, Aug. 1, event, allowing students and their families to shop in a relaxed environment before the store opened to the public. Students were referred through community partners, including the Sequim School District, YMCA of Sequim and the Sequim Boys & Girls Club.
