chicas latinas, Chicas Latinas de Sacramento, Event, sacramento, Volunteer, Walk a Mile in Her Shoes., Weave Inc.

There is an old saying: “You can’t really understand another person’s experience until you’ve walked a mile in their shoes.” Walk a Mile in Her Shoes® asks men to literally walk one mile in women’s high-heeled shoes. It’s not easy walking in these shoes, but it’s fun and it gets the community to talk about something that’s really difficult to talk about: gender relations and sexualized violence against women.

Walk a Mile

On Sunday, May 3 the men of Chicas Latinas de Sacramento will make a statement not just locally but to the world when we come together for the 5th Annual Walk a Mile in Her Shoes.

This is the first year the Chicas will have a team representing us!! We can’t achieve this without YOU. Register today and recruit the men in your family, your work, your gym, your church. You get the idea, we are going to go big on May 3 and want you to be part of the record setting and lifesaving day.

  • Registration is $40 per man which includes: Shoes, T-Shirt, Swag Bag, and Festival Access
  • To register click on the link below and “Register for Walk a Mile”
    http://weaveinc.donorpages.com/WalkaMile2015/
  • Under team options choose “Join a Team” and select “Los Hombres de Las Chicas” 

~ A donor page will be created so you can share with family and friends. All donations will be added to the Teams fundraising goal ~

For more information Join the Event on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/events/825541930867296/

AND Chicas!!!!

We will be out there supporting our men by Volunteering with Weave. In order to track our volunteers put “Chicas Latinas de Sacramento” in the “Additional Comments” box when registering.

“Starting off on the Right Foot”

Chicas Latinas de Sacramento is excited to announce our shoe-drive for a Sacramento area elementary school!  

Shoe Drive 2

We are sponsoring and providing shoes to the children at Hagginwood Elementary School. The school includes grades K-6 and has approximately 500 students — of which 96% receive reduced lunch prices and are considered “socio-economically disadvantaged” or at/below poverty level.

When we asked staff what the students are most in need of when starting the new school year, we were simply told, “shoes.” Shoes that fit and shoes in working condition… free of holes and torn soles. Back-to-school shoes, a basic need to most, are a luxury item to these children.

For that reason, Chicas Latinas members are hosting a shoe-drive and are asking the community to join us for “Starting off on the Right Foot,” as we rally together in an effort to provide shoes for these students as they enter into the new school year. Shoes must be new and should fit 5-12 year old students, boys and girls.

The shoe collection dates will run from August 4 thru September 18 — ending with a free #Network4Cause event for the school the evening of Sept. 18, for community members, participants, and donors!

Please share this event and consider asking your colleagues, friends, and family to donate A pair of shoes… I have 100% confidence we can collect 500 pairs of shoes, with your help! (No need to RSVP)

Drop-Off Locations 8/4- 918:

Kershaw, Cutter & Ratinoff: 401 Watt Ave. Sacramento, CA 95864

Capsity: 2572 21st. St, Sacramento, CA 95818
