Volunteer registration for Shoes of Hope is OPEN! 🎉

Every year, right before school starts, we host a special event for children in foster and kinship care to pick out a brand-new backpack, fresh socks and underwear, and a new pair of shoes to start the school year off right.

A brand-new pair of shoes can make all the difference to a child walking into a new school year.

Two locations. Two chances to be part of it.
👟 Gastonia — July 28 and 29
👟 Rutherfordton — August 1

Eileen taught GC ECA members to sew a mat for our sewing machines. Somehow I have lost the pictures except for these two. It was a great class, and we all completed our mat in class because it was very easy once the cutting and quilting were done!
