A massive shoe giveaway in Norfolk helped 175 families send kids back to school—but 65 still went home barefoot. Organized by board member Alfreda Thomas, the event highlighted soaring shoe prices due to tariffs, now costing $30–$75 per pair, forcing parents to choose between uniforms and footwear. With crowds lining up around the library and emotional stories like a boy recognizing her and admitting he didn’t get shoes, Thomas vows to keep fighting for students’ needs. If donations roll in, another giveaway could happen Sunday at Booker T. Washington High School—follow updates on her Facebook page.
