Warm soles: Credit unions help provide shoes for Utah children

ROY -- Some students at Lakeside Elementary School already have one thing crossed off their Christmas lists -- new shoes. Students spent Wednesday morning being measured for new shoes through the Warm the Soles With Kids service project by America First Credit Union.

Each year, America First and other Utah credit unions raise money to donate new shoes to elementary-aged students who probably would not otherwise get new shoes for Christmas.
