Tomorrow from 2 pm - 4 pm central time. the shoe drive will host a drop off event where you can head over to the event center and drop off new or gently used shoes. You can drop off shoes at the southwest corner of the D&N Event Center. 

The purpose of the event is to fundraise for youth leagues but also send the shoes off to other countries. "The shoes are going to go to underdeveloped countries and help build micro businesses so these folks can establish financial stability in their communities by reselling these shoes," said Amy Parker.
