For the last few years' Legacy Church of Northwest Arkansas throws a little party called Shoes @ the Park. This year it will be held on August, 13th 2016 from 10 am to 12 pm and they have a goal to give away at least 1,000 pairs of shoes! Last year they blessed over 600 pairs of feet!  If you or anyone you know has children who will be in Kindergarten through 12th grade and have a need for shoes, they want to give them to you. All you have to do is go to their website and register at www.legacychurchnwa.com by July 15th so they can get them in time. As you can imagine, it's tough to coordinate the event and make sure everyone gets the size they need. So don't wait, register now! If you’d like to donate towards the purchase of the shoes, or would like to volunteer the day of the event, s...
