Philanthropy Spotlight: Shoes for Schools

Shoes for Schools is the brainchild of West Carteret senior Mary Beth Garrison whose goal is to “help ensure every child without shoes can step into school with confidence!” Inspired by watching her mother, a dedicated kindergarten teacher and others like her, spend her own money to provide shoes for kids that need them. Please support this effort by purchasing new children’s shoes sizes 10-3 for elementary students. No shoe boxes are necessary.

Drop off your donations at the following locations: Morehead City Primary School (4409 Country Club Rd.), Tassels Ladies Boutique (4426 Arendell St. Suite 7A-B), or First Methodist Church of Morehead City ( 900 Arendell Street). Donations will gladly be accepted all summer long!
