Hope Lutheran will again be collecting shoes for KIDS IN NEED again this year.  The campaign runs June 17th thru July 22, 2018.  Charlotte County Public School kids preK thru 12th grade …this includes all elementary, middle, high schools, Baker Center, Charlotte Harbor Center, the Academy, the Charlotte Tech College, AMI Crossroads, and Family First all benefit from this program.   This is the 14th year and we have delivered over 66,180 pair of sneakers, most to the elementary schools.  We estimate that the need and our goal this year is 5000+ pairs of sneakers.  The sad fact is that for some children this is the only pair of NEW shoes they get.  Remember, this program is not a “come and grab” program.  Each school has a contact person who knows which children are TRULY in need. 

The shoe bin will arrive around June 11th and will be located by the office door.   Any NEW tennis shoe qualifies.  Shop early and if their is a great sale going on … Bonus … get several pairs.

If you cannot get out and shop for shoes, we have provided an envelope for your donation, someone will do the shopping for you.  Don’t forget to put your name and envelop number, so you get credited on your statement.  If you need more info?? visit www.shoesforkidsproject.org

Our goal this year is 25 pair of new sneakers for the children of Charlotte County.  Last year we exceeded our goal!!!

Please remember that the 1st Sunday of every month is “officially” the Sunday that we collect non-perishable food to be delivered to the Charlotte County Homeless Coalition.  These donations can be placed in the basket containers to the left as you enter.  The food is taken to CCHC by Bob & Katherine Herrman.

Needed food items are:  rice, beans, canned soups & fruit, boxed skillet dinners, canned meats & vegetables.

Needed personal items are:  socks (all sizes), wash clothes & towels, bathroom tissue, shaving cream & razors, laundry & personal soap, Kleenex.
