Changing Footprints

Deb Cherry told Kiwanis the story of Changing Footprints, a 501c3 organization that realized the need for shoes in our community and around the world.  They collect previously worn and new shoes for distribution to homeless, disaster stricken, and underprivileged people at home and abroad.  Over 125,000 pairs of shoes have distributed worldwide.  Over 50 tons have shoes have been re-purposed and did not end up in a landfill.  

Locally the shoes are distributed at the Kenneth Butler Memorial Soup Kitchen.  Shoes can be donated there, at the Greenfield Christian Church, or the Acorn Tree.  For more information on the program or to donate money go to http://www.changingfootprints.org/.
