It's Raining SHOES!

We often wish for more shoe donations here at the resource center...but donated children's shoes can be tricky because kids tend to wear thier shoes out.  Most of the donated shoes that come in are either not proper school shoes or are just too worn out.

The APA and local pediatricians have advised us that it can be harmful to a child's growing body for children to wear another child's worn shoes so we take this into consideration for every pair of shoes we put out.

But back to our wishes... A gentleman named Craig Hayton who has volunteered here at our center a couple times with his neighbors, wrote us a note asking...what do you need?  His church was looking for a community organization to donate to and Craig thought of us.

So we answered: shoes.  We asked for enough money to provide around 15 pairs of shoes a month for Kyrene kids who need school appropriate shoes.

We asked and they answered to the tune of $3600.00!  Imagine how excited we are to start off the next school year with funds in place for shoes!!

Thank you to Mr. Craig Hayton and the Missio Dei Communities Church!!!
