The Red River Valley Homeless Coalition is hosting its first tennis shoe drive. The drive will serve a ten-county service area, including Lamar, Red River, Delta, Hopkins, Titus, Wood, Camp, Cass, Morris, and Franklin Counties. 

“We are asking members of these communities to help us ensure children in need receive a new pair of tennis shoes for the school year. A full list of drop-off locations can be found on our Facebook page, Red River Valley Homeless Coalition,” stated Shelly Braziel, President.

In Lamar County, you can drop off new tennis shoes at Mathews Honda of Paris, Mathews Nissan of Paris, or Horizon House Transitional Shelter. Adult and youth sizes are needed, and the shoes will be distributed to local school districts for pre-K through high school. 

For more information or to help, please email hrctexas.ed@gmail.com or call 903/783-0353. 

“We want to thank our drop-off locations, as well as the community for helping us ensure no child is without adequate shoes this school year,” added Braziel.
