LAS VEGAS—December 20, 2012—Gibson Middle School students (83) received new shoes wrapped in festive holiday paper from the Warm the Soles of Kids program sponsored by America First Credit Union.
Annually, America First provides new shoes to economically disadvantaged children throughout Utah and Greater Las Vegas. Celebrating its 18th year, the Warm the Soles of Kids program has become one of America First’s most enduring holiday traditions.
Children in 10 schools and support programs, from Brigham City to Las Vegas, will be receiving early Christmas presents—new shoes—because of the generous donations of America First members, employees, and concerned citizens.
