GIVING BACK: Nosotros La Gente helps SMCISD students with free shoes, coats

Nonprofit Nosotros La Gente wants to ensure children in San Marcos have shoes and coats this winter.

Parent liaisons and employees from San Marcos Consolidated ISD and volunteers from Nosotros La Gente met at Walmart on Monday to gather shoes and coats for kids throughout the school district.

“The parent liaisons, right now, have a list of children’s names and the shoe size they need and that’s what they’re filling up their baskets with,” said Celia Barragan, Co-Vice President of Nosotros La Gente. “They’ll take them back to the school and the children will be called in and they’ll be given their pair of shoes to take home — Free. Everything is given to them.”
