The Chapel Hill-Carrboro YMCA is accepting donations of gently used shoes through Tuesday in the lobby of the YMCA, 980 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., to raise awareness about children and adults who are unable to afford shoes.
Donated shoes will be given to those in need locally as well as in communities in Ethiopia and Peru. The shoe collection is in preparation for “One Day Without Shoes†on Tuesday when Y employees will come to work barefoot and community members may gather at the Y to participate in a 1-mile barefoot walk starting at 6:30 p.m.
