Shoeless Sunday Success!
Thank you to everyone who participated in Shoeless Sunday. For those who braved the cold floor in their stocking or even bare, feet- Youth Outreach thanks you and asks you to remember that feeling. It is what millions of people go through every day around the globe. For those who kept their shoes on, please imagine the joy that over 120 individuals will experience and feel when the get their new pair of shoes. That's right, we raised over $120. During the service, the children were learning more about poverty and learning how they could fill someone's bucket (emotional, spiritual..not actual) by participating in outreach. We had some great discussions about basic necessities, poverty lines and who the people are who are in need. Thank you again!
