Join PTS and My New Red Shoes for

Walk in Their Shoes

Community Walkathon and Family Festival to Support Homeless Children

Sunday, April 18, 1:00 PM
Washington Park, Burlingame

* Spirited walk through downtown Burlingame to a nearby homeless shelter *
*Family fun, live music, food, and education *

More than 5,000 Bay Area school-aged children experience homelessness every night. There is something each of us can do to help. Raise awareness. Show support. Take a stand.

My New Red Shoes is a Burlingame-based nonprofit that has empowered thousands of homeless youth to succeed in school by providing them with brand new clothing and shoes for the school year. This year, My New Red Shoes will clothe 3,000 homeless children in Santa Clara, San Mateo, San Francisco and Alameda Counties.

Sign up to walk with PTS or sponsor our team! Your support truly makes a difference.

At PTS, Solar Power is Soul-ar Power

Over 30 years ago, Rabbi Gerald Raiskin z''l had a simple vision: Install a solar power system to power the light of PTS's Nair Tamid - our eternal flame.

While the technology wasn't ready at that time, Rabbi Raiskin's vision endured. Today, a state-of-the-art solar electric system has been installed at PTS.
