Do you have a pair of tennis shoes you bought that just never fit right, or you ended up not liking, just sitting around at home? Carpenter s Place in Rockford would love to take them off your hands to help this city s homeless population.
Every year on Holy Thursday, Carpenter s Place hosts a Foot Care Event where Podiatry students from OSF Saint Anthony Medical Center come and care for the feet of their homeless guests. This includes washing and evaluating the health of their feet, trimming their toenails, and giving them a pair of new shoes and socks to keep their feet protected. You and I may not know much about podiatry, but if you feel the call to help this effort, you can make a donation now to Carpenter s Place.
