Every Step Matters.
Mistletoes provides brand-new shoes to children and families in Fall River and surrounding communities — helping kids step forward with comfort, confidence, and dignity.
More Than Just a Pair of Shoes
A simple act of giving has grown into a community-powered mission supporting local children and families.
Helping Local Kids Step Forward
Mistletoes is a community-driven initiative dedicated to providing new, properly fitting shoes to children and families in need throughout our local area.
For many families, essentials like footwear can become a financial burden. Mistletoes helps bridge that gap so children can walk into school and everyday life feeling comfortable, confident, and supported.
What began as a simple idea has become a growing movement powered by neighbors, businesses, organizations, fundraisers, and people who believe in taking care of their community.
“Something as simple as a new pair of shoes can change the way a child walks into the world.”
