Toyota Motor North America stepped in for the 13th consecutive year to support a local Detroit community through its “Walk In My Boots” community outreach project. On Monday, January 15th, more than 125 family members from The Salvation Army received much needed new insulated winter boots and socks to help shield families from the cold and snow.

With the winter snowstorm that fell upon Michigan and the below-zero temperatures, the boots and socks came just in time.

It was a great afternoon as Toyota brought a ray of sunshine and warmth to the families. One family member said, “God is always right on time, and I am so grateful to Toyota for giving my family these boots. We had a major snowstorm. And now, my kids don’t have to walk to school in the cold without boots.”

With this project, in Detroit alone, Toyota has donated over 2,300 pairs of boots and socks to local families and contributed over $175,000 to The Salvation Army Great Lakes Division.
