Each year, First United Methodist Church and Helping Hands of Rockwall host a back-to-school bash "Shoes for Kids". The bash provides new shoes for students of need in Rockwall and Royse City as well as school supplies and other services. Local organizations come out to volunteer their time and Rockwall Rotary is one whose members sign up quickly to participate!
Rockwall Rotarian, Mike Conway of Conway CPAs has supported Shoes for Kids through donations and service for the past five years and his passion for the event is evident. He loves recruiting for this event and proud of the Rockwall Club's participation. “It is extremely rewarding to be involved. I have always worked the check-out process, so I get the honor of seeing the students after they come through. They are so proud to show off their new shoes, backpack, and the many other items they receive. And at that age starting school with those things helps them fit in.”
