Missions Opportunity

Socks & Shoe Drive
As you do your spring cleaning, set aside those gently used shoes.  We will be collecting new socks and gently used or new shoes of all sizes to be distributed to children up to age 14 at Gibsontown Ministries at a date yet to be determined this fall.  Shoes need to be closed toed only.  New shoe laces, please.  We will begin the collection in August.  This will be a joint effort of Women’s Ministry and Captivated Girls (Youth girls of Glenwood Campus)  The distribution date will be on a Saturday.  Volunteers will be needed to help sort and set-up prior to distribution and also to fit children on the distribution day.  Watch for date and volunteer sign-up.   We would also like to have a few volunteers to purchase a pair of shoes for kids we cannot fit, just in case they are needed. 
Last year 300+ pairs were needed!
