Michael Bates Chevrolet Supports Chevrolet Step Up For Kids Shoe Drive

Michael Bates Chevrolet Supports Chevrolet Step Up For Kids Shoe Drive At Michael Bates Chevrolet, being part of the community means more than helping drivers find their next vehicle. Our team is proud to participate in Chevrolet Detroit Dealers’ Step Up For Kids shoe drive, a community initiative focused on providing new shoes, boots, and socks to children in need throughout Metro Detroit. Running from September 1 through September 30, the Step Up For Kids campaign brings Chevrolet dealerships and local communities together to collect new footwear donations. The campaign partners with Lace Up Detroit, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping provide new shoes and boots to children and families throughout Southeast Michigan. Helping Local Kids Take Their Next Step With Confidence A new pair of shoes can provide more than everyday comfort. For many children, having a new pair of properly fitting shoes can help them feel prepared for school, activities, and daily experiences. Through the Step Up For Kids shoe drive, community members have the opportunity to donate new shoes and socks that will directly support children in need. These donations help provide essential footwear while giving kids something they can feel confident wearing throughout the school year.
