This summer drive collects and distributes NEW shoes to more than 700 needy children in our community. In addition to shoes, we collect new school supplies to start the school year off right for children throughout Fort Bend County. New school supplies can be dropped off year round in the Social Concerns Ministry office or in the parish office. For more information on the Shoe Drive, please contact the Social Concerns office at socialconcerns@stlaurence.org.
The 2018 Shoe Drive is currently complete. Thank you for your support!
All shoes have been delivered to children in Fort Bend County!
Thank you for helping us to help those most in need in our community!
During the shoe drive we will also be collecting school supplies.
The list of needed items can be found below.
Our school supply donations will benefit in need in Fort Bend County, our St. Laurence Village familes, and the teens at Parks Youth Ranch.
