With 18.5 percent of all children in the United States living below the federal poverty level, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, many families have to choose between food and clothing. Seeing the tremendous need facing the nation, Rack Room Shoes, one of the largest shoe companies in the country, has now joined with Shoes That Fit to provide shoes for thousands of underprivileged children through a special fund-raising effort that not only has social significance, but lends a helping hand to community outreach.

The partnership between Rack Room Shoes and Shoes That Fit allows for the opportunity to raise funds to provide new shoes for thousands of kids who could not otherwise afford them. The result is that these children are provided with the ability to go to school with dignity and in comfort allowing them to concentrate on their studies, and not on their circumstances.

All of the 378 Rack Room Shoes stores are offering a unique and very popular accessory – Finders Keepers Key Purse. This custom-designed key holder is really jewelry that conveniently attaches to a purse or onto belts or pants pockets to keep individuals' keys handy at all times. The Finders Key Purse is free with a $5 donation. And, when you make a $5 donation for the keyfinder, you will receive a coupon for $10 off your next purchase of $60 or more; 100 percent of the proceeds are used for the Shoes That Fit program to provide necessary shoes for the deprived children.
