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.

The escalation of conflict in Ukraine has caused civilian casualties and destruction of civilian infrastructure, forcing people to flee their homes and seek safety, protection and assistance. Millions of refugees from Ukraine have crossed borders into neighboring countries, and many more have been forced to move inside the country. They are in urgent need of protection and support.

In partnership with USA for UNHCR (the UN Refugee Agency), MNRS is assisting this urgent humanitarian effort by preparing more than 100,000 pairs of donated boots for delivery to refugees fleeing the war in Ukraine.

“Our focus will always be centered on meeting the basic needs of local children and families in the San Francisco Bay Area. However, as we’ve done in the past, My New Red Shoes is proud to step up to provide emergency response support and humanitarian aid when needed!”
- Minh Ngo, MNRS Executive Director

This humanitarian effort is possible through corporate and community support and engagement from friends and supporters.

Please consider joining us in this effort by volunteering or making a cash donation today!
