This holiday season, the Dakota is proud to be working with Good in the ‘Hood: Inspiring Intentional Kindness with a footwear + warm accessories drive.
You can drop off the following new or gently used items in donation barrels at the Dakota:
DONATE WARM ACCESSORIES
Scarves, hats, mittens, gloves, wool socks, & hand/feet warmers. Pairs must be attached.
DONATE FOOTWEAR: Shoe Away Hunger
Drop off new or gently used footwear including including sneakers, casual shoes, winter boots, sandals, and heels. Pairs must be attached.
Shoe Away Hunger is a partnering program of Good in the ‘Hood that offers affordable quality footwear for those in need. In addition, it helps to raise the important dollars to continue feeding over 4,000 people each month through the Feeding The Future programs and services.
They have a Shoe Bus that is on the road hosting events several times each week to bring quality footwear to those in need, providing affordable quality footwear for those who are economically disadvantaged, including shoes for schools, shelters and local food shelves.
