👟Shoes for those in Need👟

Guarantee Shoe Center in Downtown Bakersfield has donated over 111,000 pairs of shoes to the homeless community over the past 33 years, collecting usable, pre-loved shoes year-round. Partnering with the Open Door Network, the program supports those in need—helping kids attend school with confidence and adults secure jobs—thanks to strong community involvement and a mission of giving back.
