Soles for Souls

FBISD Shared Dreams

This program provides short-term assistance to address insecurities related to clothing, toiletries, food, and school supplies for registered Fort Bend ISD students. The needs of the students are assessed by a campus nurse, counselor, or district social worker. Shared Dreams aims to help students close the gaps in their needs and achieve academic success.

The Shared Dreams program includes new and gently used clothing items. Fort Bend ISD has a student population of 80,000, of which 52% belong to economically disadvantaged families. The students eagerly look forward to receiving new shoes, as it is one of the rare occasions when they walk into the halls and feel like their peers. Christ Church is the most significant contributor of new shoes to the program, providing thousands of dollars of support throughout the school year.

LCISD Common Threads

LCISD Common Threads is a clothing assistance program committed to providing clothing for families with school aged children. By providing with the basic necessities to attend school, they are more confident about themselves and better able to focus on educational goals.

Enrolled students are allowed 2 visits per calendar school year. Uniform and non-uniform clothing is offered to the students at no cost to their family.  On their 1st visit 3 tops 3 bottoms, socks & underwear and a pair of shoes are given. On their 2nd visit 3 tops, 3 bottoms and a jacket. This program allows support to ease the financial burden. (We have a yearly event (their 1st visit) HOPE ON THE BRAZOS that happens in the fall to give opportunities for shopping for the coming school year).

Toiletries are given to our homeless/hotel families. We also have opportunities for volunteers if you want to get involved in our mission.
