They also have partnerships with the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and SAAC (Student Athlete Advisory Committee).
"We are so grateful to partner with CoSIDA for the second year," stated Manny Ohonme, founder of Samaritan's Feet. "We at Samaritan's Feet are looking forward to serving together in Orlando and encouraging those in that community. Thank you CoSIDA for joining us as we make a positive difference together in the lives of many children and families," added Ohonme.
CoSIDA volunteers will travel to downtown Orlando on Tuesday morning to Frontline Outreach to participate in a basketball skills camp and provide new shoes to nearly 300 kids.
