Shoes you don't need or want ...
Posted: Mon Jul 03, 2006 10:17 am
My little family is involved with several shelters that "need"..and one is from when we had the security/ investigation business and those are not, for their own security of who is living there, made public, so for them to get help is nearly impossible. Those are especially the ones where I'm trying to give some things to.
If you have any shoes that have wear left on them, men's, women's or kid's, or just don't like the "fit" or whatver, and would like to give them away, private message me, and we'll make some kind of arrangements to pick them up *inside Lakewood only please*. We will then divide them among the shelters we have been donating to, according to who takes what, especially the ones that are not made public.
Tennis shoes, sneakers, nike's to no- names, combat boots, dress shoes, it doesn't matter, as long as their wearable. Forget seasons, shoes are shoes. My grandmother used to say, don't give something that were worn with hatred or anger, throw those away, but give things that were worn with love and kindness. (For whatever that was worth).
No one gets tax breaks or status or gain of any sort, so the giving has to be just that. Giving.
For personal reasons, we (me and my family) are doing this, and could use any shoes/boots to take to the appropriate shelters, especially our former client shelters we did security for.
If they need cleaning up, I'll do that even if neeed. Thanks in advance.
Maybe something to round up today even, it only takes a couple minutes to grab a pair or 2 and throw them in a bag.
