Bethany, MO: The Bethany Rotary Club’s annual Buckner Shoes for Orphan Souls shoe drive contributed more than 10 thousand pairs of new shoes and over 12 thousand pairs of socks for vulnerable children. The shoes and socks, which were donated by community members and organizations, were picked up by the Rotary District 6040 caravan and shipped to nonprofit Buckner International. The shoes will be sorted and distributed by Buckner to children in countries like Guatemala and the Dominican Republic.
