Ceceline Seale, a community worker, approached Samaritan’s Feet SA to distribute shoes at her school. She said she was “pleased” that the organisation had agreed to help her school.
“Some of our pupils come to school without shoes, and it’s difficult for them to participate in activities,” she said. “I’m glad that Samaritan’s Feet SA is helping us to change that.”
There are other ways to help Samaritan’s Feet SA besides donating money. The organisation is always in need of volunteers to help with its work.
Consider donating new or used shoes to Samaritan’s Feet SA. You can also help by volunteering your time to help distribute shoes or provide other support to the organisation.
