KYLE — With the 2020 census showing that 9.6% of Hays County residents are living in poverty, one local organization aims to combat the effects of this by providing underserved children in the county with a free pair of shoes. 

Hays Cares aims to inspire hope by providing resources, education and economic opportunities for underserved children and families in the county. For the past several years, they have held their Shoes of Hope event, providing school-aged students with a free pair of shoes in preparation for the new school year.
