  • Soles4Souls Shoe Drive

    We are collecting gently used shoes this week to share with the Soles4Souls shoe foundation.  These shoes will be distributed by the foundation all over the world to children and families who aren’t able to provide shoes for themselves or their families.  This doesn’t cost you thing, just a trip to the back of your closet.
