The Knights of Columbus is asking you to donate gently worn shoes to the Share Your Soles® charity from Saturday, Oct. 26 until Sunday, Dec. 1 (the period encompassing All Souls Day) during the Knight’s annual fall shoe drive. We will be accepting shoes of any type and size, for any type of weather or sport. This includes athletic shoes, sandals, school shoes, boots, dress shoes, work shoes, slippers, etc. Be sure that the shoes you donate are gently worn or new, are clean, and can withstand heavy wear. Monetary donations also are appreciated and are used by the charity primarily for shipping and handling expenses.
Collection bins will be located at the entryways to the church. In response to the new KC Faith in Action program, the drive is being conducted on more of a community-wide basis this year.
The ongoing drive is being conducted in memory of the late Robert Geary, founder of the Knight’s annual shoe drive. Please direct questions to Joseph Kubal, telephone: 630-983-6159, email: jdrk4715@aol.com.
