Donating is simple. Pretty much everyone has a pair of shoes they aren't using... but these shoes can be big blessings to those in need. You don't even have to make a trip to Walmart. You simply need to look in your closet, and pull out your gently used shoes. Then, give them to us, and we will make sure they go to children and their families who need them. We accept gently used mens, womens, and children's shoes and our goal is to deliver these to families in the Appalachian Mountains, disaster areas, and homeless shelters where they are needed.

H.U.G.S. main priority is shoes, but we will meet the needs of people who need it where we can. For instance, this year we collected flip flops and socks for children in Uganda and held a mitten, scarf, and coat drive for the homeless in Nashville. Of course, we also carried whatever we could collect for Tuscaloosa after the tornados, everything from food and non-perishable items to clothing and shoes --- and even bikes. 

Want to arrange your own collection drive? If you are a church, school, business or even individual who wishes to collect shoes for those who need them, we will supply the boxes for you, and pick them up if you live in the Nashville area. If your group would like to have a fun and easy community project, this is it! Kids love this because they can give, and never have to go out of the house to buy anything.

My dad and mom have committed to helping me deliver them, with help from leaders in my community and church. Together we are all making a difference, and YOU can too! Our goal for 2012, is to bring the H.U.G.S. shoe count to 20,000 pairs... and you can help make it happen!
