Sedalia Kiwanis Club Shoe Drive

Additional Information

The Sedalia Kiwanis Club will be partnering with several area schools to help the Shoeman Water Project bring clean water to people in South and Central America. The Shoeman Water Project collects new and used shoes and exports them to street vendors in places like Haiti and South America, providing affordable shoes and jobs for those communities. The money raised from the sale these shoes is used for well drilling, water purification  systems and training programs to bring clean water to those who thirst.

Skyline and Parkview Elementary schools will be collecting new and gently used shoes of all kinds January 11th through the 22nd. ALL SHOES ARE NEEDED: MEN’S, WOMEN’S,WORKBOOTS, BABY SHOES, FLIPFLOPS. Please make sure the pairs of shoes are tied or rubber-banded together.

Boxes for collections will be placed at those buildings and the school counselors at Washington and Horace Mann Elementary will be collecting shoes during that time period. There will also be a collection point at Sacred Heart School as well as the George Thomlinson Farmers Insurance office located at 220 West 6th Street here in Sedalia.

If you would like place a collection box at your school or business or want more information about this project please contact Kiwanis Club President Bob Milner at 660-473-1270.
