Newman Center shoe collection

St. Thomas More Newman Center is collecting gently used shoes as a fund raiser for their spring break mission trip. Newman Center is collecting any adult  and children sized shoes, including athletic shoes. Once the shoes are received, they are processed for exports to various countries in South America & Africa, where they create thousands of jobs for small businesses who resell them as a means of supporting their families. It is a win-win situation: help our students attend their spring break mission trip helping the poor and needy in New Orleans, and help families in a third world country as well!

You can drop off shoes at the Newman Center Monday through Friday between 10:00 am and 5:00 pm or call the following number and we will arrange pick up! (458-215-4209)
