Holy Thursday Shoe Drive: Walk in Their Shoes

Much like our guests, Jesus walked miles each day as He spread His message. To commemorate Jesus’ journey, Holy Thursday is our annual opportunity to ‘walk in their shoes’, and provide our guests with a new pair of walking shoes, socks and foot powder. If you are able to donate new walking shoes or foot powder, your support would mean the world to our guests. Here’s how:

· Drop items off at Carpenter’s Place
1149 Railroad Avenue, Rockford, IL 61104
(Monday through Thursday 8:00 am to 4 pm or Friday from 8:00 am to 2 pm)

· Order through CP’s Amazon wish list and have it delivered directly to us (please include a gift receipt so we know who made the donation). Here’s the link: https://a.co/09hJg7Ts

•Drop your shoe donations off at Carpenter’s Corner from today through March 27 and receive a coupon for 10% off your next purchase, valid thorough April. (Stores located at 1715 Rural St or 2512 S. Alpine).

•…Or make a monetary donation to fund the purchase of shoes. Please include “Holy Thursday” or “Shoe Drive” in your check memo.

Note: Men’s size 9-12 are the shoes most in need!

For more information, please contact Patti Floyd at 779-210-2970.
