That's right! We're collecting gently used or new shoes to raise funds for mental and emotional support services for cancer patients, survivors, and their families. It's a win-win – you declutter your shoe collection, and Cancer Pathways Midwest gets the resources to provide vital support programs in mental and emotional support to anyone impacted by cancer.
