Cornhusker Bank’s Annual One Day Without Shoes to Benefit People’s City Mission

This year marks the 10th annual Cornhusker Bank One Day Without Shoes event for the benefit of People’s City Mission (pcmlincoln.org). New or used wearable shoes of all sizes will be collected at participating businesses throughout the community, including all Cornhusker Bank locations from August 31 through September 12. Well over 100 locations throughout the community are partnering with the bank for this year’s shoe campaign and will be serving as collection sites for new, used, adult, and children’s wearable shoes.

According to Barry Lockard, Cornhusker Bank president/CEO, “The One Day Without shoes event has been phenomenally successful in giving bank associates and the community at large the opportunity to have a shared purpose which helps enhance our community and helps improve well-being of lives of individuals within it.”

In the history of the event, Cornhusker Bank and organizations throughout the community that have partnered in the collection efforts have gathered over 162,000 pairs of shoes and cash donations for the Mission to buy new footwear of over $77,000.

People’s City Mission was started in 1907 and is Lincoln’s only shelter. Their mission is to feed and shelter the homeless and impoverished, while sharing the good news about Jesus Christ, thus promoting human transformation. The Mission gladly accepts donations of time, clothing, toiletries, food, and other resources. To learn more about their current needs, visit pcmlincoln.org.
