Shoes of all sizes were collected. Any type of shoe except metal spikes or roller skates was accepted. Regular cleats were acceptable. Shoes which were gently worn, used or new were accepted. Collection sites were:  St. Andrew’s United Methodist Church in Valley View, Trinity Lutheran Church in Valley View, all TVSD school buildings, Sterman Masser Inc in Sacramento and the Hot Potato 5K on June 9, 2018.

The Cross Country Team is a newly sponsored school sport and this collection will help us to build a general fund.

Our team is working with a company called Funds2Orgs. This company will give us .40 per pounds of shoes. In turn, these shoes are sent to developing countries for people to start small businesses. Your contribution of used shoes supported 2 great causes.
