A tradition of service in Clayton

 

The Woman's Club of Clayton has a long history of volunteering, fundraising, and supporting community projects.

 

Its members have supported education, community improvement, and people in need.

 

The club’s official community service page provides more information about its activities and service projects.

 

Shoe Us the Love gives non-member residents a simple way to join that service tradition.

 

How to donate

 

Residents should take their new or gently worn shoes to the collection box by the mailbox at 848 Parkridge Drive, Clayton.

 

The address is the campaign's designated shoe drop-off point. Don't confuse it with the club's regular meeting location.

 

Donors can contribute footwear during the collection period, September 18 through November 18, 2026.

 

If you're organizing a group collection at work, school, or in a neighborhood, check with the Woman's Club before bringing a large quantity to make drop-off easier.

 

The club's campaign materials encourage participants to share their impact using the hashtag #shoes4good.

 

Making 2,500 pairs possible

 

If 250 households each found ten pairs of shoes, the club would reach its goal. Another way to picture the target is 500 neighbors contributing five pairs each.

 

Of course, every contribution counts, even if a donor has only one pair to spare.

 

Parents may discover outgrown children's shoes. Adults might find sneakers, dress shoes or other footwear that remains wearable but is no longer needed.

 

A quick closet cleanout, combined with a reminder to family and friends, could help the collection grow steadily before the November 18 deadline.

 

Share the love

 

The campaign's name sums up the invitation: show care for others by giving shoes a second life.

 

Residents who would like to learn more about the Woman’s Club of Clayton and its ongoing community work can visit the club’s website.

 

The Shoe Us the Love drive ends November 18, 2026. Please place donations in the shoe collection box by the mailbox at 848 Parkridge Drive in Clayton.

 

With a goal of 2,500 pairs, the club is counting on neighbors to turn fall cleaning into a practical act of generosity.
