An Exciting Update from mBOLDen Change

An Exciting Update

Dear Friends,

After nearly two decades as My New Red Shoes, we’ve rebranded as mBOLDen Change. Our new name reflects the evolution of our work — and a deepening commitment to equity, systems change, and bold partnership. While the name is new, our values, relationships, and approach remain grounded in trust, collaboration, and shared purpose.

Since 2006, our organization has helped hundreds of thousands of children and families access the essentials they need to thrive. Thanks to the support of friends like you, our work has grown from:

Enlisting partners to deliver our programs to co-creating solutions that empower partners to launch and lead the initiatives that matter most to them

Distributing in-kind goods to developing cash-based support that puts flexible dollars directly in the hands of those who need it most

Serving families once a year to strengthening the systems that support them all year long

Holding equity as a guiding value to advocating for policies and practices that shift power and expand opportunity for marginalized communities

We’re energized by this transformation. mBOLDen Change captures the clarity, conviction, and momentum guiding our next chapter.

We’re deeply grateful to have you by our side. Together, we can make equity not just a shared value, but a lived reality.

At My New Red Shoes, we are deeply concerned about the current political landscape and the uncertainty it poses to our communities, as well as to the fundamental values of fairness, equity, and opportunity that we believe every person deserves.

We’re channeling our concerns into meaningful action. For us, this means redoubling our efforts to make a real, lasting difference in our community. It means actively advocating for policies that promote stability, dignity, and the autonomy and rights of those striving for equity and justice.

We will keep fighting—alongside you and our entire community—to ensure that every child has a safe, supportive environment, a fair shot at opportunity, and a foundation of respect. Meaningful change is built from the ground up, neighbor to neighbor, and we are committed to listening, standing up, speaking out, and taking action to protect the safety, health, and well-being of the communities we serve. Together, we can build bridges, share resources, and foster dignity and belonging for those who need it most.

Shared purpose is a powerful antidote to uncertainty. Join us as we move forward together, strengthening our community and uplifting its most vulnerable members every step of the way.

With determination,

Minh Ngo
Board Chair & Executive Director
