EUMA (Erie United Methodist Alliance) and All God’s Children Ministries/Ramps of Hope are holding their Annual Shoe Drive to raise funds for their missions. Sewickley UMC will collect new and gently used, CLEAN shoes (pairs only) from now until June 2nd. Ask your friends, family, and neighbors to help collect shoes. It's a win, win, win situation! EUMA raises much needed funds for outreach ministries, shoes are kept out of landfills, and we support micro-enterprise in developing countries. In prior years, supporters helped to raise over $11,000 per year for missions! Simply make sure each pair is connected, whether by the shoelaces or with rubber bands. A collection box will be in the narthex and in the hall by the restrooms. The more unwanted shoes cleared from closets, the more mission support is generated!
