Bastrop-area families can register through Aug. 1 for free school shoes from First Baptist Church of Bastrop.
In a nutshell
FBCB Pastor Joshua Hebert said the congregation intends to provide at least 150 new pairs of shoes to Bastrop-area children. With the community's help, that number could climb.
How it works
Hebert told Community Impact that children will have the opportunity to pick from a variety of options; however, registration is required before the event.
"We also will be providing a free dinner for each family when they select their shoes," he added.
Why it matters
"During these difficult economic times, we want each child in our community to own a new pair of shoes for the upcoming school year," Hebert said. "It is our hope that meeting this need will let each one know that God loves and cares for them."
Get involved
Those interested in helping can donate online. Hebert noted that every $25 buys one new pair.
