Do you have a lot of shoes that you don't wear anymore?  Would you like to get rid of those shoes while helping people in Kenya?  If so, please drop off your shoes in the bin which will be placed in the foyer starting Sun, Nov. 9th and ending Sun, Dec. 14th.  The shoes will be donated to the ShoeMan, a local pastor who has a passion for Kenyans & shoes.

Here's how it works: George Hutchings, a former Baptist pastor and Vietnam War veteran from West St. Louis County, collects the donated shoes, which are then sold to Remains Inc., a used clothes processing company in South St. Louis. Remains pays 35 cents per pound of shoes. The money, said Hutchings, will be used to purchase a rig to drill wells in Kenya. In addition, Hutchings said Remains sends the shoes to Third World countries and are sold at a low cost for people who could not otherwise afford a pair of shoes.  From: http://www.shoeman.org/
