A quick update on shoes... to date, 219 pairs of gently used footwear have been donated by TUC congregants. Between TUC and the residents of Victoria Place, a total of 362 pairs have been donated to Soles4Souls so far this year through the BioPed Store in Lindsay. BioPed has 85 stores across Canada, and the Lindsay store ranks #4 in footwear collections for 2025 to date.
