Nature Coast Volunteer Center Hosts Annual “Two Good Soles” Shoes & Socks Drive

They will be collecting new shoes and socks for children in need from Sunday, August 1 through Friday, September 10, 2021.

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks and has been designated as a National Day of Service and Remembrance. On this day, Americans across the country volunteer in their local communities as a tribute to the individuals lost and injured in the attacks, first responders, and the many who have risen in service to defend freedom.

This day of service is a way to honor those who were lost and to rekindle the spirit of unity and compassion that followed the attacks. The public is invited to participate in the remembrance of 9/11 by donating new shoes or socks at any of the donation box locations throughout Citrus County. You can find donation boxes at any of the five (5) Citrus County libraries, all Citrus County community centers, the Citrus County Tax Collector’s Offices (Inverness and Crystal River), and the Citrus County Resource Center in Lecanto.

Collected items will benefit these local agencies: Citrus Abuse Shelter (CASA), Citrus County District Student Services, Citrus County Family Resource Center, Citrus United Basket, Daystar Life Center, and the Pregnancy & Family Life Center.
