Shoes For Latvia and Cleveland Kids Being Collected!
Shoe collection is taking place at many locations throughout the WCRF listening area through Sunday, August 3rd. WCRF invites you to drop off new shoes (and socks) for the 2008 Shoes For Orphan Souls shoe collection drive now. New shoes of all sizes will go to needy kids in Latvia along with a portion going to kids in need right here in our backyard in Greater Cleveland.

There are three things you can do:

1. Buy pairs of new shoes and socks and drop them off at one of the area locations listed here.
2. Consider traveling to Latvia this fall with Mark Zimmerman and a team of other lay missionaries to deliver the shoes in the name of Jesus. Click here for details.
3. Pray that God blesses this collection. And that thousands of shoes go to exactly the kids God has selected.
