During the months of July and August, Grace City Church will be hosting a shoe drive! All donations will be sent to our contact, Welcome Matsebula, in Swaziland who will distribute the shoes to various orphanages and needy children in Swaziland. The children typically walk long distances to and from school, so their shoes wear out quickly.
What To Look For
- Shoes sizes 1-12 (boys and girls)
- New and gently used shoes
- The schools the children attend require closed-toe black shoes
If you are able to purchase new shoes we have found that Payless, Wal-Mart, Target, Ross and Marshals all carry shoes that will meet the needs of the children. Prices range from $10-$25.
In general, these are the types of shoes we are hoping to collect.

| Boys Shoes (Payless) |

| Girls Shoes (Payless) |
What To Avoid
- Cloth shoes
- Shoes with holes in them (even if the holes are stylish, T-Style girls shoes are fine)
- Fancy/expensive shoes (though it would be nice, we want to make sure all the children receive the same types of shoes)
