Members of CrossRoads Community Church of Jefferson Hills have rallied around Pastor Floyd Hughes for their annual shoe drive.

They are looking for donated shoes – new or gently worn. These can include flip flops, roller skates, heels or flats, boots, sneakers, and even slippers. You can drop the shoes off at CrossRoads Community Church at 1028 Scotia Hollow Road or schedule a pickup by contacting Pastor Hughes at 412-384-9278.

A simple pair of shoes will go a long way! Once all of the shoes are collected, CrossRoads will be reimbursed and will collect 40 cents per pound of shoes, so the more the better! Funds raised from the shoe drive will go directly to the Elizabeth branch of the Salvation Army and the Elizabeth Area Food Banks to ensure those groups can continue to provide crucial help and resources to people in the community.

The shoes will then be shipped to third world countries. Once there, they will be given to impoverished people, who will then use the shoes to start, maintain, and grow a small business of their own. They can make $10-12 a day, which will feed, clothe, and house their families. The average income is typically $1 or less a day.

Neighboring churches have teamed up with Pastor Hughes and will also serve as drop off spots for donated shoes. Those include:

Monongahela, PA 15063
