Positive school-wide culture and climate.

MindUP is a CASEL SELect program, serving children ages three to fourteen

We offer school-wide training and support for teachers, staff, administrators, and parents

99% of those trained say MindUP's Certified Consultants "met or exceeded expectations" (from 2018 data)

MindUP has been shown to reduce aggression and increase pro-social behaviors

Evidence also demonstrates MindUP's positive impact on academic measures, such as math and language arts

SELect Programs

The designation indicates that a program is evidence-based; well-designed and classroom-based program that systematically promotes students' social and emotional competence, provides opportunities for practice, and offers multi year programming; and delivers high-quality training and other implementation support.

Benefits for Teachers, Schools, and Students

An Adaptable Program

Our lessons are designed to easily integrate into a variety of themes and content standards. In fact, they complement almost any subject.

Improved School Culture and Climate

Teachers and students report reductions in aggressive actions and increases in pro-social behaviors. Through MindUP, students learn to regulate emotion and focus attention.

An Optimistic Classroom

MindUP helps teachers create a classroom environment characterized by optimism, compassion and engagement, promoting resilience and fostering expressions of gratitude, empathy, and connection to others.

An Evidence-Based Option for SEL

More than 10 years of independent research, including four randomized control trials, has substantiated MindUP's impact on a variety of critical academic and social-emotional indicators.

Once children realize that their minds matter, it makes a difference to how they'll learn. It reinforces the enjoyment and impact of the experience of learning.

- Daniel J. Siegel, MD

MindUP Training

Today more than ever, children need the tools to manage stress and build resiliency. In order to continue living our mission of providing those tools for children, we have designed a training model that allows us to bring MindUP to schools virtually. We are currently offering a series of synchronous and asynchronous virtual MindUP trainings that include schools, districts, administrators and families.

Help kids across the country get the shoes they need!

We're so proud of our CEO for releasing her new book!

Did you know that 1 in 3 American children lives in a low-income family?

When you give shoes to a child, you give so many other things like Hope, Dignity, and Joy.

Here is what the schools tell us about the impact of our program:

Our story

Shoes That Fit tackles one of the most visible signs of poverty by giving kids in need new athletic shoes to attend school with dignity and joy. Together, we can make a difference to kids in need. We can alleviate this simple burden. We can stop bullying by making sure no child is wearing shoes that are too old or smelly or too inappropriate.

Since our founding in 1992, we've provided over 2 million pairs of brand new shoes and other necessities to children across the United States.

Our vision is that, one day, every child in America who needs new shoes gets new shoes, allowing all children the opportunity to reach their highest potential.

How we work

Step 1

We pair "sponsoring groups" - businesses, colleges, community service groups and other organizations - with children at schools in their communities.

Step 2

The school identifies the children most in need.

Step 3

The school staff personally measures each child with the tools we provide.

Step 4

Brand new shoes are purchased by the sponsoring group and delivered to the school.

Step 5

Lives change.

Don't take our word for it. Here's what teachers have to say about Shoes That Fit:
"I love the smile that it puts on my student's faces. It gives my kids an equal opportunity to be able to have good shoes in gym and increases their confidence." "The look the students give you when they put on their new shoes is priceless. It gives them a sense of relief that has a lasting impact on a daily basis. It also has an impact on the families by taking a burden off their hands. They're so grateful their child has a nice pair of shoes that they can be proud of." "I love being able to have the resources necessary to respond to needs when they arise. We have so many "shoe emergencies!" Students may have shoes that literally have the sole falling off of them, a huge hole letting in cold air/moisture, or maybe their shoes are two sizes too small and creating discomfort or pain." "It's nice to know that we're able to provide a new pair of shoes to preserve their safety and ease their discomfort. This allows us to shift their focus back to activities that support their social, emotional and academic growth, instead of them being worried and sidetracked by this basic need."

The people who utilize our services come from all walks of life. We all experience difficult times in our lives and sometimes we need a helping hand. More than 50% of the people we serve are experiencing a very temporary situation and just need a little help to get them through a rough time. Our volunteers genuinely love helping people and go out of their way to try to meet the needs of everyone we serve. The most rewarding part is the smiles and expressions of gratitude from those we serve.

Our History

The Shepherd's Pantry organization is a result of the merging of two food pantries; Cory's Kitchen, founded in 1996, and Shepherd's Pantry, founded in 2004. Since the inception of both pantries, additional services were added to support those individuals and families struggling to make ends meet.

Some of those services include(d) haircutting, clothing store, homeless food program, reading and math tutoring, Christmas Toy Store, community food baskets, Summer Reading Camp, emergency voucher program, health fair and a school supply giveaway for a local community.

Cory's Kitchen began as a ministry centered in Irwindale and expanded to serve through seven additional site locations at one time. Shepherd's Pantry began as a free emergency food delivery service with a small group of volunteers delivering food from a storage unit in Glendora. Today there are three pantry locations, each with unique services for their respective communities to add to their food pantry service. Shepherd's Pantry is a dynamic faith-based organization that sees the unique value of each client treating them with dignity, offering hope with a helping hand.
