2018 School Shoes Program

Have you ever been forced to wear shoes 2, 3 or even 4 sizes too small for your feet?  Shoes worn with use?  Soles and holes repaired with paper, tape and whatever remedy you can craft?  Nearly a decade ago Catalyst Ministry began our School Shoe Program after several parents expressed concern about their children starting the new school year with unsafe foot wear.  This year saw 29 pairs of shoes purchased for members of 10 different families.
