Matt Yuen of Queen Anne’s Boy Scout Troop 70 wants to help people who are in need of shoes. He feels “one pair of shoes can change someone’s life for the better,” especially kids’ sport shoes. His goal is to have his troop collect 300 pairs of shoes for Redeeming Soles, which collects and distributes shoes to the needy.
Yuen started a shoe drive through his school, where he collected 150 pairs.
More shoes are needed. From Saturday, April 20, to April 30, Troop 70 will conduct a shoe drive at four drop-off locations:
•Christopher Togawa Insurance Agency, 222 Etruria St., Suite 110
•Ken’s Market, 2400 Sixth Ave. W.
•Key Bank, 2105 Queen Anne Ave. N.
•The Seattle Gym, 1530 Queen Anne Ave. N.
