The Social Justice Coordinating Team is sponsoring a campaign to donate soles – tennis shoes, dress shoes, boots, slippers, flip flops, etc. of any kind, any size, any condition – which will be delivered to Clothing, INC monthly until our 20th anniversary celebration. This is a great opportunity for us to support our community as well as conserve Mother Earth as all donations will be either provided free to Clothing, INC guests or be sent to Lansing to be converted into other products – nothing will go to landfills! Bring your soles to UUFCM any time you are in the building! There is a Share Your Soles! box in the Fellowship Hall, and monthly we will take them to Clothing, INC and announce the running total in the eNews. The only requirement is that you please either lace the shoes together or rubber band them (rubber bands provided). |
