BLACKSBURG, Va. – The Virginia Tech cross country and track & field teams will be holding their fourth annual Shoe Drive this Saturday, Sept. 24, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. in Cassell Coliseum.

Please bring any gently worn shoes that you no longer wear, and help provide free footwear to those in desperate need. All shoes will be donated to either Soles4Souls or the Nike Re-Use A Shoe program. 851 pairs were collected last year, and teams have the goal of collecting 1,000 pairs this year.

The Shoe Drive will happen rain or shine, and the drop-off area will be located in the half-circle bus pull-through on the Spring Road side of Cassell. If you can’t make it on Saturday, you can still drop off shoes with Stacey Vidt in the track/cross country office in Cassell or at the Student Life office.

In addition, if you don’t have any shoes to donate but would still like to help, please consider donating $1 to off-set the shipping costs.

Join the Virginia Tech cross country and track & field teams in their efforts to reach out to the less fortunate!

For more information on the Shoe Drive, contact Virginia Tech cross country/track & field Technical Director Stacey Vidt at (540) 231-6929 or svidt@vt.edu
