The "Shoes for Kids" project collects donations of new tennis shoes and distributes them to children in need in Massac County. Many children in the area do not have proper fitting shoes and some only have old, worn out shoes or go barefoot. The shoes will be given to kids living in the Massac County Housing Authority who attend the local summer camps. Donation boxes will be placed in local businesses and churches for a 4-5 week period to collect shoes, which will then be distributed to needy children in the area. The project is sponsored by Reaching for Kids and Youth of Massac County and supported by the Massac County Housing Authority.
