Kudos to Shoecyclists Arnav, Samyak, Ansh, and Soham!
Our hearts swell with pride when we get responses like these.
Heartfelt thanks to members of Wexford community, Vernon Hills Library and Central Road Elementary School for donating pairs in excellent condition.Total 339 pairs were collected by Arnav Aggarwal, who leads Chicago Shoecyclist volunteer group. All shoes were donated to Wayside Cross Ministry to cater to the needs of homeless.
Thanks to a month long drive at John Muir Hospital run by Shoecyclist Arul, we collected hundreds of shoes in excellent condition.
Shoe sorting has begun! and now shoes are headed to City Team Shelter, in San Jose, CA and the homeless population at St. James Park in San Jose, CA.
Heartiest thanks for the Staff members of John Muir Hospital.
“Thank you so much for gathering those shoes; our clients will certainly appreciate it. Shoes are expensive and easily worn out by the homeless population, so it is really practical to help them out with this resource.
I hope you, all, are proud of what you do, because it makes a positive impact on a marginalized group.”
-Email from PATH San Jose, CA for Jan 2018 donation
Last month, Shoecyclist coordinated a shoe-collection drive at the Athenian school in Danville. With the generous support of students and staff, we collected hundreds of shoes in great condition.
After sorting them over the holidays, we dropped five large boxes today to a great organization that directly reaches homeless individuals, PATH San Jose.
This email is a reminder that CA is home to the largest homeless population in the country and shoes are one of the precious resources they need….
Thank you for your generous donations and for enabling Shoecyclist to make a difference.
For it’s in giving that we receive.
