New Shoe Drive Benefitting Local Foster Kids

Washington’s nearly 20,000 foster kids often walk a difficult path. And, like all children, they quickly outgrow essential items such as shoes that fit, which allow them to walk to school comfortably, participate in P.E. class with their peers and enjoy after school sports.

Help local foster children by donating new shoes to Sleep Country’s Shoe Drive for Foster Kids. Sleep Country will be collecting new shoes in all sizes at its locations from now until Sunday, May 13. For more information, or to find the location nearest you, visit www.sleepcountry.com. Cash donations can also be made online and Sleep Country representatives will shop on your behalf. All contributions are distributed among Sleep Country’s foster care partner organizations.
