Shoes for the City Distribution

We are excited to partner with Serve Midtown Church of Christ, South Walker Church of Christ, and Edmond Public Schools to bless members of our community with new shoes. On May 2 from 1–3 p.m., we plan to distribute the shoes collected on Easter Sunday to the communities around Serve Midtown and South Walker. Because each site serves a different population, the distribution approach will be unique to each location.

Serve Midtown’s new building is located across the street from the downtown bus depot, creating a perfect opportunity to bless our unhoused neighbors. We need volunteers to make sandwiches for distribution in addition to helping hand out shoes.

South Walker’s community is primarily Hispanic. In Mexico, Día del Niño is celebrated at the end of April, making this children’s celebration an ideal opportunity for us to distribute the shoes. Every year, South Walker hosts a community event for Día del Niño with games, crafts, food, and, of course, a piñata for the neighborhood kids. We will need a variety of volunteers to help with the event.

We will have a culminating outdoor bilingual worship for everyone involved in the Shoes for the City drive and distribution at the Wiley Post Park. Bring your own seating and join us May 2^nd at 4 pm.
