The Kosciusko Board of REALTORS® Community Service Committee held its 10th Shoes for Scholars program this month to provide free gift cards to elementary school children to purchase shoes or boots for the school year. On Nov. 13, KBOR Community Service Committee members met Danielle Anthony, Big Brothers Big Sisters community based match support specialist, and a group of ‘Bigs’ and ‘Littles’ to present 20 Shoe Carnival gift cards worth $30 each to elementary school children involved in BBBS mentoring programs. Both organizations thanked Shoe Carnival management for their donation.
