A Secret Garden

As Operation Shoestring continues to celebrate 50 years of service to our children, families, and community, it has been an enlightening experience to reflect on the inspirational work of our organization.

To commemorate this occasion, we asked members of the Shoestring family who were there at the beginning to talk about their experiences. Nancy Gilbert, our first executive director said, “The need in the community for social justice and equality of opportunity is what drew me to this job.”

Watch Nancy and Robert Langford, our current executive director discuss their experiences with our organization.
