My New Red Shoes Annual Report 3

Dear Friends, It’s hard to summarize 2009. It has been an incredible year of challenges and juxtapositions: as the economic reality unfolded and homelessness struck even more children, My New Red Shoes witnessed an increased demand for our ser-vices while we saw the possibility for funding decrease. Extreme times call for extreme measures. At My New Red Shoes, we met these challenges by focusing on creative solutions and energizing the community to support our mission. As the year draws to a close, we feel very privileged to report that, despite the odds, 2009 has been a year of major expansion in both our programs and the community’s support for My New Red Shoes:

Caron Tabb Heather Hopkins Executive Director Founder & Board Co-Chair

We distributed significantly more gift bags than ever through our Clothing for Confidence pro-gram, providing for 2,119 homeless youth and expanding to serve youth in Alameda County.

We directly engaged over 1,500 (and indirectly engaged over 4,000) housed youth in support of their homeless peers through our Kids Helping Kids Youth Leadership programs.

We kept costs down by launching several creative partnerships including a collaboration with FedEx (which shipped our gift bags around the Bay Area at no cost) and a partnership with a cor-rectional facility in Southern California (whose inmates sewed gift bags as a community service).

We increased our volunteer opportunities and inspired over 500 volunteers to spend over 3,000 hours working in support of our mission.

We grew our family of supporters by over 600 individuals, expanded corporate outreach, and successfully engaged new foundations.

We strategically expanded the Board of Directors and solidified our organizational infrastruc-ture, systems and operations to ensure transparency and implement nonprofit best practices.

Our success is your success. Without your financial support and belief in our mission and ability to serve this community, My New Red Shoes would not have been able to celebrate this remarkable year. Thank you! We launch into 2010 with optimism. While the community need continues to drive My New Red Shoes’ team to excel and reach beyond our limits, we believe that, with your support, we will suc-cessfully clothe 3,000 homeless youth from over 60 Bay Area homeless shelters for the first day of school in 2010. Our Kids Helping Kids Youth Leadership and community engagement programs will once again soar to new heights with over 4,000 students serving their homeless peers. We hope you will choose to join us again to support homeless youth in 2010 and that we will have the opportunity to meet with you in the near future to share this success with you in person.

P.S. Stay posted for My New Red Shoes’ new look and mailing address in early 2010!

2009 CLIENT STATISTICS 2,115 youth served


My New Red Shoes’ Clothing for Confidence program provides homeless and low-income chil-dren with a hand-sewn gift bag containing brand new shoes and a $50 gift card to a clothing retailer so that they may greet the school year appropriately dressed, proud and ready to learn. My New Red Shoes partners with homeless shelters and other community service agencies to identify children in need of clothing and distribute donations. By leaving their students’ back-to-school clothing needs to My New Red Shoes, agencies can focus on providing the profes-

FILLING AN UNMET COMMUNITY NEED On any given day, approximately 5,000 school-aged children experience homelessness in the San Francisco Bay Area. This situation has a devastating effect on a child’s education; youth who have experienced homelessness are twice as likely to repeat a grade as other children and are at much higher risk of not attending school, ultimately increasing their chances of repeating the cycle of homelessness in the future. National and local homelessness organizations have repeatedly identified a lack of school clothing as one of the barriers to education for homeless youth both because it is a basic need and because children feel reluctant to attend school without suitable clothing. By filling this gap, My New Red Shoes not only helps increase the school attendance of homeless youth, it gives children a much-needed confidence boost.

Elizabeth and her husband Eric have six children between the ages of five and twelve. The family had been suitably housed and making ends meet for many years until an accident left Eric crippled. With Eric no longer working and needing assistance in his daily tasks, Elizabeth struggled to care for her large family. The family was forced to move into a homeless shelter and soon after their arrival, re-ceived gifts from My New Red Shoes. Al-though every child in the family benefited greatly from this donation, AJ, the young-est, was perhaps the most affected. He was worried that his hand-me-downs would make him stick out in kindergarten, but when he received a bright blue gift bag from My New Red Shoes containing his first-ever pair of brand new shoes, AJ thought, “Shoes with laces; I really am a big boy now!” AJ’s mother was also appre-ciative of the gift card that enabled her to buy school uniforms for her six children who were now able to start their school year with pride.

Luisa was unable to work after breast cancer and a double mastectomy. While she planned to return to work cleaning houses after her reconstructive sur-gery was complete, Luisa’s loss of income made it difficult for her family to make ends meet. With the gift from My New Red Shoes, Luisa’s two children were able to look forward to the start of the school year, a brief respite from the fear and anxiety that had troubled them in months past.

“The mothers in our program have low or no income, they will not be able to buy new school clothes or shoes for their children’s first day

back to school. My New Red Shoes has helped make their back to school

experience positive.” -Homeless agency professional

Clothing for Confidence



Six months ago, Martha fled her abu-sive partner and the father of her chil-dren. Martha and her four children stayed with her uncle in his one-bedroom apartment until the landlord threatened to evict. Martha and her children were forced to move into a local family shelter. All four of Mar-tha’s children were starting new schools in August and were very anx-ious. Martha knew her kids desper-ately needed new clothes and shoes; the thought that she would not be able to provide for them was overwhelm-ing. After receiving gift bags from My New Red Shoes, Martha was able to focus on the other essentials that would help her family to succeed.

George is a six-year-old homeless boy. Despite the hard times they have en-dured, George and his family have posi-tive attitudes and even help out at their shelter’s afterschool program. Because George’s mother receives only $600 per month in CALWORKs benefits, buying new shoes and clothes for George and his nine-year-old sister would mean their mother would not be able to buy food and other household necessities that month. When George received new shoes and a $50 gift card from My New Red Shoes, he proudly carried his shoes around the shelter offices to show the staff. He could hardly wait until the first day of school to show his shoes and clothes to the other children in his class.

My New Red Shoes’ Kids Helping Kids Youth Leadership Programs plant the seeds of compassion and charity in students by engaging them in educational programming and service projects that teach them about the effects of homelessness on children. The goals of the Kids Helping Kids Youth Leader-ship Programs are to empower students to become volunteers, leaders, advocates and activists in support of their homeless peers. Kids Helping Kids Youth Leadership Programs answer the dual needs for public awareness and volunteerism to support homeless families. The program utilizes the service learning model, a recognized best practice in education, that has been proven to create lasting social change and transform students into giving, volunteering adults


“Volunteering and being a part of TAC has been a truly empowering experience...Most people think that homelessness is caused by drug and alcohol addictions, but that is not the case at all. Throughout

this experience I have met and spoken with people who have just had plain bad luck or who have been in the wrong place at the wrong time. I now see homelessness in a completely different light because of the people I have met and the stories I have heard. I will definitely be a member of TAC again next year and I would recommend this type of service to other students my age who want to

gain and spread homelessness awareness.” -Peninsula TAC Participant

1. ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS MY NEW RED SHOES is a nonprofit public benefit corporation incorporated in March, 2006 for the purpose of providing homeless and low-income children in the Bay Area brand new clothing and shoes for the first day of school so they may greet the school year with pride, and to create a kids-helping-kids community by engaging local students

in service activities and educating them about the issues of homelessness and poverty.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of presentation: The financial statements are presented in conformity with State-ment of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 117, Financial Statements of Not-For-Profit Organizations. Under SFAS No. 117, MY NEW RED SHOES reports information re-garding its financial position and activities according to three classes of net assets: unre-stricted, temporarily restricted, and permanently restricted. Fiscal Year: MY NEW RED SHOES’ fiscal year begins on October 1 and ends on September 30. Revenue recognition: Contributions are recognized in full when received or uncondition-ally promised, in accordance with SFAS No. 116, Accounting for Contributions Received and Contributions Made. All contributions are considered available for unrestricted use unless specifically restricted by donors for future periods or specific purposes. Donor-restricted amounts are reported as increases in temporarily or permanently restricted net assets. Temporarily restricted net assets become unrestricted, and are reported in the state-ment of activities as release of restrictions, when the time restrictions expire or the con-tributions are used for the restricted purposes. Special event revenue is recognized when the related event occurs. Contributed services, materials and equipment that do not meet the criteria for recogni-tion under SFAS No. 116 are not reflected in the financial statements. Cash and equivalents: For financial statement purposes, MY NEW RED SHOES considers all investments with a maturity at purchase of three months or less to be cash equiva-lents. MY NEW RED SHOES currently holds $42,898.60 in short term money market funds. Property and equipment - are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of 3 to 39 years. MY NEW RED SHOES’ policy is to capitalize such items with a cost of $1,500 or more.

Notes to the Statements


Income taxes: MY NEW RED SHOES is publicly supported and exempt from income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Inventory Valuation: Inventories consist of shoes, gift cards, and something special acces-sories, and are valued at the lower of cost or market. MY NEW RED SHOES determines cost using the specific identification inventory method.

3. DONATED MATERIALS AND SERVICES MY NEW RED SHOES receives support from various individuals and organizations consist-ing of the free use of facilities, equipment, goods and services. The free goods and ser-vices partially defray the costs that MY NEW RED SHOES would otherwise incur for pro-gram services, fundraising, and management and general expenditures. A partial list of donated goods and services received is noted

Accounting Services $9,600 Background checks (PFC Information Services) $1,378 Payroll service (Paycycle.com) $516 Fedex delivery service $667 Volunteer services (which would otherwise have been purchased) $42,176 Gift Cards $1,015 Supplies $3,948 Shoe donations (Nike/Converse) $65,410 Office space (Forbes.com) $11,352 Warehouse space (Nvidia Corporation) $5,700

MY NEW RED SHOES also receives donated services from other contributors and volun-teers that are not measurable and, therefore, are excluded from the financial statements.

4. NET ASSETS During the year, temporarily restricted net assets were restricted for the following pur-poses:

Clothing for confidence program $89,029 Kids helping kids program $20,000

As of September 30, 2009, temporarily restricted net assets of $94,029 were released. MY NEW RED SHOES will carry over $15,000 of temporarily restricted net assets to the next fiscal year.
