Donate those shoes you never wear. Disaster
victims and those in need will love you forhaving a decent pair of
shoes to wear.
Thanks to Lincoln County residents generosity
we have already reached 98.4% of our goal.
We will certainly exceeded our goal by a large
margin by the time this event ended January 31st.
Collection boxes can be found at the following
locations:
Depoe Bay - City Hall
Lincoln City - Community Center
Newport - BOSS/KCUP Radio
Newport - Courthouse 2nd floor
Newport - Pick of the Litter
Siletz - CTSI administration Bldg

Ray's Market in Waldport is no longer collecting
shoes so we want to thank them for their
participation. Also, the Pick of the Litter store
in Newport is providing shoes that do not otherwise sell.

Reusable Mugs and Water Bottles are an
effective way to reduce waste, and avoid the environmental
problems associated with using too many "one-time-use" paper,
plastic and Styrofoam (yuck) cups.

Follow us on twitter for a chance to win a
reusable mug or bottle of your own (@green_buddha) |
