Hi-Tec Helps The Salvation Army Send Local Kids to Camp

Here at Hi-Tec, we take our passion for the outdoors seriously. So when our local chapter of The Salvation Army approached us about an opportunity to help send some very deserving kids and teens to camp, we were all in.

With the help of The Salvation Army each summer, Project Camp Redwood Glen sends hundreds of children to enjoy fresh air, get some exercise, and develop an appreciation for the beautiful outdoors. Unfortunately, many of these kids didn’t have the proper footwear for outdoor adventures (and for many, every day life), which is where Hi-Tec gladly stepped in. After chatting with the good people at The Salvation Army, we decided to donate a pair of shoes to every child and teen going to camp in our local area.

Today, our Marketing Director, Brett, gave an eager group of 25 kids an inside look at our headquarters where each also received their new pair of kicks on the spot. All in all, nearly 50 kids from Stanislaus, San Joaquin, and Merced Counties got new footwear for the camping trip next week, and approximately 20 additional pairs were provided to the camp directors to distribute to needy children on-site.

We're so excited for the kids heading to Camp Redwood Glen next week, and are proud to provide shoes to such an amazing (and deserving) group of youngsters. We hope that by having appropriate footwear for camp, these deserving kids will surely enjoy their camp experience and thrive from their outdoor adventure!
