"Step Up for Our Keiki" is a community shoe drive running from October 1 to October 31, 2026, organized by Echelon West Oʻahu in partnership with The Salvation Army Kroc Center Hawaiʻi.
The initiative aims to collect 500+ pairs of new children's shoes to directly benefit the students of Barbers Point Elementary School, a West Oʻahu community where many families navigate significant financial challenges. Providing comfortable, properly fitting footwear helps ease financial burdens on these households while ensuring local keiki can play, participate, and thrive in school.
