The Shoe Distribution Kick-Off for the 14th Annual Day Without Shoes Shoes Drive will happen Friday, April 26 at 11 a.m. at People’s City Mission (pcmlincoln.org, PCM) Help Center at 6800 P St.
Since 2011, Cornhusker Bank and PCM have partnered to help raise awareness of the impact a pair of shoes can have on a person’s life by hosting an annual Day Without Shoes event. At Thursday’s event, Cornhusker Bank will present a check to PCM, followed by a press conference. Then, PCM guests will be able to choose shoes for themselves and their families. The remainder of the shoes collected will be distributed over the next several weeks to needy families who are served at the Help Center.
Please refer to the following schedule for the day:
- 11:00 a.m. Check presentation and press conference
- 11:15 a.m. -12:30 p.m. Shelter guests will shop for shoes first
- 12:30 -1:00 p.m. Local non-profit connection clients will shop for shoes.
- 1:00 – 3:00 p.m. Community shoppers shop for shoes
“We are so incredibly thankful for Cornhusker Bank’s dedication to this drive every year. Thousands of folks in Lincoln will be helped because of all of the shoes and money collected this year,” said Pastor Tom Barber.
