TOLEDO—Our Helping Hands of St. Louis 10th Annual Shoe Fest is coming up and we need your help! We need volunteers and your donations of new athletic shoes for kids sizes toddler 10 through adult 10. This event helps each child start their school year off on the right foot!
You can drop off your bagged new shoe donations, bagged and clearly marked Shoe Fest, to Helping Hands of St. Louis from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at 443 Sixth Ave. Toledo. We would like to have donations by July 20th if possible. Also, if you see a great sale on athletic shoes, let us know so others can purchase their shoes on sale as well.
Donations children’s backpacks and school supplies such as paper, pencils, pens, markers, crayons, glue sticks, dry-erase markers, hand sanitizer, tissues and Ziploc bags are welcomed.
“Each year we’ve provided new shoes, socks and school supplies to more than 600 school-age children,” says Sue Shrewsbery, Director of Helping Hands of St. Louis. “We focus on East Toledo families, but no child will be turned away, if we have their size shoe. First come, first served."
