From Oregon-
When Pat Phillips read a story about a church participating in the Soles4Souls program, where people donate new or lightly used shoes for those who are otherwise shoeless, it caught her attention.
"I thought it would be something we small groups could handle," says Phillips, who pitched the idea to her church, St. Luke's Episcopal in Lakeview.
The idea quickly spread. Six churches in Lakeview and Bly, along with the Lakeview Eagles Lodge, Lake District Hospital and the Forest Service-Bureau of Land Management Interagency Office in Lakeview, are now pitching in by accepting shoes until April 15 through the national Soles4Souls program.
The churches accept shoes only on Sundays but the three other Lakeview locations will take donations during weekday open hours.
