A local nonprofit, Lace Up Detroit, is working to provide new shoes and boots to underserved women and children in Southeast Michigan. This effort aims to give them a head start on success. Lace Up Detroit is receiving support from WDIV, which is teaming up with the organization for their 2026 Back to School Campaign.

Donations can be made to support this cause, with a $25 donation able to provide a child with a new pair of shoes. Further details about the campaign and how to contribute are available from the source, including information about an event on August 21st where donations and new athletic shoes can be dropped off.
