Shoe Away Hunger 

For the month of February, The Way Youth will be collecting new and gently used shoes for "Good in the Hood" a non profit a few high school students volunteered at in 2019. Every pair of shoes donated= 1 week of groceries for someone in need! Shoes can be placed in the giant box outside the youth room! 

On Feb. 29th starting at 10am, ANYONE is invited to join us, and the leaders from the good in the hood ministry, to sort shoes! It sounds smelly, but it's a whole lot of fun!

Other ways you can help? Own a business in town? Put a shoe collection box in your store! Or grab a flyer from the table and help us hang up posters around town! 

See Catie with questions!
