Over the next couple of months ETCHA will be collecting shoes in partnership with Dove Ministries. ETCHA will be paid by the pound for donated shoes that will in turn be distributed to others in need. The collection will take place from now through May 10th, 2015.

Here are some things to keep in mind as you donate shoes:

1. Tie together all shoes with laces
2. Rubber band all shoes without laces
3. No spiked heels please
4. Place all shoes in a large black plastic trash bag
5. Shoes should be usable but don’t need to be perfect.

Please call Ron Marvel at (423) 542-4423 to learn more or arrange a drop off of collected shoes.
