In April 2011, Cornhusker Bank and People’s City Mission (Pcmlincoln.org) partnered to spotlight shoe insecurity in Lincoln. Over the years, more than 416,000 pairs of shoes and $136,000 in donations have been collected. Every pair of shoes donated becomes an opportunity to help someone take their next step.
Join them this April to get involved in this special collection that provides new and gently used shoes to families in the Lincoln Area. There are so many ways you can participate!
From April 6 – April 19, you can donate shoes and monetary donations.
On April 8, they will host a barefoot walk to raise awareness for those experiencing homelessness and individuals who do not have access to proper footwear. The event will begin at the Cornhusker Bank Center 8310 O Street, where participants will gather before walking barefoot to the People’s City Mission Help Center at 68th & P.
On April 24 is their Sole Impact Distribution Day, where the shoes will be distributed to those in need.
