The running store’s Back To School Shoes Project provides families in need with school supplies and more.
Co-owners Robin and Blaine Lewis started Fleet Feet Roanoke 18 years ago and say the goal is to reach at least 8,000 students.
“My passion is just for those, especially kids who are less fortunate here in Roanoke,” said Robin. “I went to Patrick Henry High School. My daughters did too. I love the city schools... but also know there’s a lot of need there too, and I’ve seen it firsthand and it just breaks my heart.”
