YOUTH VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT
Riker + Shoes That Fit Delaware
A Goal of 100 Became 350+ Pairs of Socks
Riker, an eighth grade student at St. Edmond’s Academy, is already making a difference in his community.
This summer, Riker partnered with Shoes That Fit Delaware to organize a sock drive. He set a personal goal of collecting 100 pairs of socks and surpassed it by collecting more than 350 pairs, along with shoes.
Goal: 100 pairs • Collected: 350+ pairs + shoes

His commitment to helping others extends beyond the drive. Riker also volunteers with the Ministry of Caring’s Emmanuel Dining Room and has volunteered at Tree Top Kitty Cafe.
“So happy to see students like Riker get recognition for doing good work for the community.”
