On Friday, March 30, 2018 from 1:00-3:00pm Western Carolina Rescue Ministries (WCRM) will host their annual “Good Friday Foot Care Clinic”.  This event will help benefit those in our area who are in need of new shoes and socks.

For many homeless individuals, walking is often the only means of transportation.  Without adequate shoes, mobility is severely limited.  In addition to providing comfort and protection from the environment, shoes help prevent a variety of foot related medical ailments. Having a good pair of shoes often results in an enhanced quality of life and improved self-confidence. In some cases, this has led to employment and bettered living conditions.  (https://www. shoesforthehomeless.net/ mission-and-vision)
