Room to Grow Annual Shoe Drive January 31, 2013

Room to Grow in Boston is hosting its annual shoe drive throughout the month of February to help babies navigate their first steps safely. Please join us in putting footwear on the growing feet of babies being raised in poverty by encouraging your office, school, friends and family to participate in our shoe drive. In 2013, Room to Grow aims to provide quality shoes and boots to 400 babies in our program. When planning your drive, keep in mind we accept new and nearly new shoes for boys and girls size 0-13 as long as they appear to be in excellent condition; most of the children we serve have feet smaller than toddler size 8; and we have the greatest demand for boys' sneakers and winter boots. Visit the events page at www.roomtogrow.org for a flier to help you get your drive started, or email Elizabeth Chernack for additional support and information. Please deliver all shoes to Room to Grow, 142 Berkeley Street, Boston, MA 02116.
