May 21, 2023 (San Diego) -- A Positive Choice Resource & Referral Services LLC is hosting a Walking in Confidence Shoe and Sock Drive in collaboration with Serene Health, We Support U and Monarch School to donate as many shoes and socks in all sizes to the homeless community. New shoes and socks will be accepted until June 22 at the drop off locations around San Diego County, including A Positive Choice’s office at 7614 Lemon Avenue Lemon Grove, CA 91945.
Jeannine Nash, Director of Referrals for A Positive Choice, says, “There are many individuals who are homeless and shoeless. These individuals suffer from a lack of confidence. Shoes will assist in providing individuals with the protection they need from the environment, the shoes will give them a sense of pride and dignity.”
Suggested shoe sizes are 9 to 11 in men, 8 to 11 in women, 11 to 2 in children and 4.5 to 7 in elementary and middle school students. Monarch School’s Amazon wish list has children’s shoes at the top which can be purchased or used as a reference. Student sizes may range from kindergarten to high school, so any donations will be greatly appreciated.
We Support U is also taking cash donations, stating, “None of our success would be possible without generous donors like you.”After the drive, A Positive Choice will distribute the shoes to our homeless population within the San Diego community.
“One of the saddest things I have seen is homeless men, women and children walking with no shoes or even beat-up, torn, holey shoes bound together by tape,” said Nash. With your kindness, this drive will give shoes to homeless men, women and children so they can walk in confidence.
