They also help those living in war-torn countries and anyone needing a helping hand.  We have no qualifiers or requirements, no paperwork, no names; we just provide the footwear that is needed.  There are two containers for collections, one in the main office and one in the bookstore.  Thank you for any donations!  If you don’t have new or gently used shoes we also take worn shoes and they are recycled into mulch..
