2026 Shoes For Kids launches annual shoe drive

The Shoes For Kids YQL Shoe Drive, the annual campaign supporting children and youth facing financial hardship across southern Alberta, officially launched its sixth year today. The initiative provides brand-new shoes to students in Lethbridge, southwest Alberta and neighbouring Indigenous communities.

The community is invited to support the campaign by donating new shoes or making a financial contribution during the annual shoe drive on August 15 at Murray Chevrolet from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Founded in 2021, Shoes For Kids is a non-profit organization that has provided thousands of pairs of new shoes to local children and youth.
