Hey everyone! We will be having a medical outreach next Tuesday, October 2nd, from 3-7pm, downtown Lafayette, at the YWCA - if you can think of anything that would be a good way to honor and help those waiting on the doctor see that they matter, let us know.
Also, October 25th, Thursday, will be our annual Love Your Feet outreach - this will be from 8am to 430PM and afterwards will be dinner and usually campfire at the Hendrick's. This year will be at McAllister Recreation Center, just off 20th and Schuyler, Lafayette. We will be setting up Wednesday evening the 24th, stay tuned for the time. We will be giving away new shoes - tennis shoes for adults and boots or shoes for kids - 3 per family max. If we have supply, we may be able to accommodate special requests, but in general, the goal is to help people who cannot afford decent shoes to get something on their feet that is new and durable.
Here are the times:
Shoe distribution will be conducted by last name

We need lots of help - last year we gave away 700 pairs of shoes and boots!!! It is a blast to be able to provide help to those in our community who need it and even more to be able to communicate that real people, in their own town, care enough about them to spend their day and their own money doing something to help them out. To many of them this means so much!!
If you plan to be there for all or part of the day, we need to know - please let Melissa know asap. And if you do not have a Mtm outreach shirt, please let us know too, when you let us know you are coming, so we can get you one!!
Hope to see you there!
