How to donate shoes
This year's shoe drive is for NEW kids' shoes only. Used shoes cannot be accepted.
The People's City Mission is currently low on the following sizes for both boys and girls:
Please avoid flip-flops and shoes that are only worn for special occasions. The best shoes are ones kids can run and play in safely.
To participate, please drop-off shoes at these locations during business hours Feb. 3-17:
*Please help keep shoes in pairs by using a rubber band or by tying the laces together.
Why shoes?
We often take for granted the miraculous wet engine that propels us forward in life -- the human heart. Some babies are born with broken hearts and must fight for survival from birth. Much like our hearts, our feet work incredibly hard for us. Not everyone has shoes to protect them from cold, injury, and disease. This campaign urges others to use their hearts by giving shoes to those in need.
Who will benefit?
Shoes collected will be given to the People's City Mission in Lincoln, which offers guests a safe, warm atmosphere that promotes recovery, self-sufficiency and independent living. It also serves as a place of refuge for battered women and children.
Show us your shoes!
