Lenten Shoe Drive 2025

Lenten Shoe Drive 2025

St. Peter’s is currently collecting new men’s athletic shoes, socks, and footcare products for our annual Lenten Shoe Drive. The drive supports the foot clinic offered by Trinity Episcopal Church CWE which serves the unhoused population who walk many miles every day. The last day for the shoe drive is April14th.

We currently have 35 pairs of shoes. We are hoping to hit last year's number of 100, with just about two weeks to go! Help us make our goal! 

What to Donate:
  • New men's athletic shoes, sizes 9-12
  • Thick men's socks
  • Goldbond foot powder & foot cream
  • Toenail clippers

You can also donate to the shoe drive by purchasing items from our Amazon Wish List which will be delivered directly to the church!

There will be an opportunity to volunteer at the clinic on Wednesday, April 16, noon to 2 p.m.

Focus on foot care for those whose feet are their primary mode of transportation. Foot baths, wound care, pedicures, care bags, socks and new shoes will be available to individuals on a first come basis with a primary interest in those who are unhoused. A simple lunch will be provided by TFM Wednesday Café.
