Sleep Country USA Shoe Drive
Oregon and Washington have nearly 20,000 children in foster care. Many have suffered the effects of poverty, neglect and even abuse. Studies show that for many foster children, the challenges are just beginning. But it doesn't have to be that way. Sleep Country USA would like your help by joining forces in our community to help Northwest foster kids by donating shoes to your local neighborhood Sleep Country USA location. With your help, we can provide foster children with the little things that often make a big difference. With your continued support we strive to help foster kids beat the odds. Learn ore about our current shoe drive efforts or donate online or even host your own drive today!
