Shoes will go to needy families

Physicians and staff with Ankle & Foot Care Centers are teaming up with the Salvation Army to collect and distribute new or nearly new shoes for needy families.

The podiatry practice is asking shoppers to drop off shoes at collection stations at any of its 18 locations in the Mahoning Valley by Jan. 3.

Acceptable donations range from children’s sizes to adults, both men’s and women’s, and all types of shoes. Children’s boots are especially needed in winter. For information, visit www.ankleandfootcare.com.
