Local nonprofit Cy-Hope has launched its annual shoe drive and is collecting new and gently used shoes through July 15. Shoes will be sold at Cy-Hope's resale shop—The Hope Chest—which is located at 12015 Barker Cypress Road, Cypress, just south of Hwy. 290. Proceeds from the shoe drive benefit Cy-Hope’s programming, including summer camps, the backpack program, Hope Centers and counseling services for students living in Cy-Fair. The organization will receive 40 cents per pound of shoes that cannot be sold. Throughout the year, The Hope Chest also accepts clothing, toys, books, household items, furniture, appliances, lawn equipment, video games, movies and more. Pickup services are available for larger items such as furniture. The following Cy-Fair businesses are operating shoe collection boxes through July 15:
