A group of pastors and churches in Ashdown are working together, in order to make sure that local students are returning to school wearing a new pair of shoes, and more.

First United Methodist Church Pastor Jim Cross has been working with Academy in Texarkana, to get  over 300 pairs of brand-new shoes for the giveaway. The money was raised earlier this year by Cross, in his annual Walk he does, from Ashdown to Ogden and back.

Now Central Baptist Church, Hilltop Church, and Ogden United Methodist Church are joining in the giveaway, by supplying and donating more shoes, plus socks and underwear to the efforts.

The Shoe Giveaway will be Saturday, August 15th, at FUMC- Ashdown, in front of the church, beginning at 10:00 AM. No paperwork is necessary; drive up with your child or children in the vehicle, tell the volunteers the shoe size of each child, and they will place the shoe boxes inside your car.

For more information, call FUMC-Ashdown at  (870) 898-5738.
