PHOTO PROVIDED The Lock Haven Area Shoe Bank will give free new shoes to kids on Saturday, Sept. 24, by appointment. Volunteers from Lock Haven University helped place shoes on shelves in this file photo.
LOCK HAVEN — The Shoe Bank is open on a different date this month — on Saturday, Sept. 24. That’s when eligible kids can get a free pair of new sneakers or shoes.
Children or teens, up to age 18, may pick out free new shoes, socks and books every six months at the Lock Haven Area Shoe Bank. They are eligible if their family has Compass and lives in Clinton County or the Liberty-Curtin Elementary School area. Families who don’t have Compass may be referred by an agency.
The Shoe Bank is inside Covenant United Methodist Church, 44 W. Main St., and is usually open one Saturday a month, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Appointments are required.
Sign up for your time slot ahead of time, be ready to show your Compass App or paper at every visit and wear a mask when you visit.
To book an appointment, call or text Diahann at 814-571-5324 (Monday through Friday 7-9 p.m., please). Leave a message and she will contact you when she builds the schedule. You may even contact her before 11 a.m. on the day the Shoe Bank is open, in case a time slot has become available.
If you are ill, please call to reschedule. If you must cancel, please let Diahann know as soon as you can, since she keeps a waiting list.
Volunteers are always welcome. Those who cannot help on Shoe Bank Saturdays are welcome to help with set-up on Thursday afternoons.
Anyone who knows a family who may benefit from this service is asked to pass the word along.
Funding is provided by the Clinton County Community Foundation, the Wayne Township Landfill’s Hoy Golf Tournament, an M&T Bank grant, civic groups, churches and individual donors.
