Free new shoes for kids on Oct. 15

LOCK HAVEN, PA — The Shoe Bank will be open this Saturday, Oct. 15th. Eligible kids and teens can get a free pair of new sneakers or shoes.

Children or teens, up to age 18, may pick out free new shoes, socks, and books every six months at the Lock Haven Area Shoe Bank. They are eligible if their family has Compass and lives in Clinton County or in the Liberty-Curtin Elementary School area. Families who don’t have Compass may be referred by an agency.

The Shoe Bank is inside Covenant United Methodist Church, 44 W. Main St., and is usually open one Saturday a month, from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Appointments are required.
Sign up for your time slot ahead of time, be ready to show your Compass App or paper at every visit, and wear a mask when you visit.

To book an appointment, call or text Diahann at 814-571-5324 (weekdays 7:00-9:00 p.m., please). Leave a message and she will contact you when she builds the schedule. You may even contact her this Saturday, the day the Shoe Bank is open, just in case a time slot has become available.

If you are ill, please call to reschedule. If you need to cancel or reschedule, please let Diahann know as soon as you can. She keeps a waiting list.
