The Shoe Bank is open by appointment Saturdays, Aug. 19 and Aug. 26, inside Covenant United Methodist Church, 44 W. Main St., Lock Haven.
The Shoe Bank serves families in Clinton County and the Liberty-Curtin School area who have “Compass”.

Volunteers are welcome. For information, contact Diahann or find “Lock Haven Shoe Bank” on Facebook. And, please spread the word to any family you know who might need this service.
