Shoes for Kids YQL launches sixth annual back-to-school drive next month
The Lethbridge charity is preparing to collect new footwear for local students ahead of the fall semester, marking six years of the initiative.
Why it matters
The annual drive helps ensure local children in need have proper footwear as they return to school this fall.
The Shoes for Kids YQL Foundation is gearing up for its sixth annual fundraiser, which will once again collect new shoes for children heading back to school this fall. The campaign is set to launch next month in Lethbridge.
Mallory Kristjanson, a representative of the foundation, spoke about the upcoming drive, which has become an established seasonal effort to make sure local kids have new shoes before classes resume.
Organizers are calling on community members to take part in the donation effort as the foundation continues a tradition it has run for half a decade.
