INTRODUCTION
The Recreation Department, in conjunction with Guard Our Youth, operates
an Open Basketball program for youth at the Cottage Grove Armory. During
the course of the 1997-98 season, it came to our attention that many of the
low-income youth in attendance did not own the proper foofinrear. Sue Kainz
with the Friends in Need Food Shelf applied for a donation from the
Community Sharing Fund of St. Paul Faundation. A donation of $800 was
received to purchase footwear for these youth.
DISCUSSION
A selection of shoes wili be purchased and kept at the Gu��d Our Ynuth faciliiy
for each person in need. Anytime that individual comes to Open Basketball
their shoes will be availabie to them (for health reasons each child will have
their own pair marked with their name). This will encourage the youth to keep
coming back to our program. At the end of the eight-month season, the youth
will be able to keep the shoes assigned to them.
STAFF COMMENTS
It is our intention to express our appreciation to the St. Paul Foundation,
Friends in Need Food Shelf and Sue Kainz by sending each of these
organizations a letter and a group picture of the youth benefiting from this
donation.
