Angela Izer, Chief operations officer of 1st Gateway Credit Union

“Every child deserves a pair of shoes that fits properly, and this program helps make that possible. The American Water Charitable Foundation has supported this mission through its generous grant and many thanks to Iowa American Water for sending team members to volunteer at our shoe drops. Their hands-on involvement gives us more time to work one-on-one with each child, helping them try on shoes and ensuring they have the right fit. Seeing the children's smiles and knowing they leave with shoes they can comfortably wear is what makes this program so meaningful. We are grateful for Iowa American Water's commitment to our community and for helping us reach more children, one pair of shoes at a time.”

Brad Nielsen, President of Iowa American Water

“Providing children with the essentials they need to learn, grow and feel confident helps build strong communities.”
