ACF will be hosting a shoe drive in the Quad City (Illinois & Iowa) area from June 15 through July 15. By collecting "new" pairs of shoes we will be able to meet some of the physical needs the orphaned and at-risk children in Romania have on a daily basis. Can you imagine only having 1 pair of shoes and those shoes either do not fit properly or are worn to the point where they do not protect your feet? This is the situation the children we assist deal with daily. Tonight I ask that you take a minute and look into your closet and count the number of shoes you have that are just sitting in the closet waiting to be worn. Then pray on how you can be involved in this part of our ministry.
You could have your church or business sign-up to be a drop-off location. This simply means that you will collect shoes that people drop-off to your business or church. Then set-up a time to deliver these shoes to our central collection point. Or you could purchase a pair or 2 and deliver them to a drop-off location.
Finally, we are going to have a drawing for 1 person to WIN an opportunity to travel with ACF to Romania to actually put the shoes onto the feet of these children in October. We will be posting something on our website very soon detailing this exciting promotion. Thanks for visiting our blog. Feel free to make comments!
