Students at a west Baltimore school received new shoes thanks to a volunteer event on Friday, February 25. Volunteers from WBAL-TV and WBAL NewsRadio joined others in the community, Samaritans Feet International and the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association to give new shoes and a pair of socks to every student at the school.

"We have a lot of student-athletes that come from schools in area like this. So, just to show them about giving back, that’s the main thing. It’s not about you at the end of the day. It’s about helping others," said Kisha Middleton, assistant athletic director at Lincoln University, which is in town for the CIAA Basketball Tournament.
