El Rincon Elementary ‘Shoes for the Homeless, Inc’ Collection Drive

The Culver City school’s PTA has partnered with the nonprofit ‘Shoes for the Homeless, Inc’ and the campaign runs through Dec. 14.

El Rincon Elementary School PTA has partnered again this year with Shoes for the Homeless, Inc. to collect shoes for the homeless and less fortunate.

The campaign began on Nov. 16 and will run through Dec. 14.

Everyone is encouraged to collect their gently used shoes for men, women and children and place each pair of shoes in a separate bag. Where possible, please tie shoelaces or secure the shoes with a rubber band.

The shoes can be dropped off at the red box in the front office at El Rincon Elementary School, 11177 Overland Avenue in Culver City

Over the past year, the nonprofit Shoes for the Homeless, Inc has distributed approximately 3,000 pairs of shoes. For more information about Shoes for the Homeless, Inc. or to volunteer or donate, please visit www.shoesforthehomeless.net

Just a short thought to get the word out quickly about anything in your neighborhood.
Share something with your neighbors. Write a new post... What's up? Make an announcement, speak your mind, or sell something

Maybe more to the point, where does the methane (way more powerful than CO2 as a greenhouse gas)Read More release go from the fracking process, where do the "secret"and other cancer causing chemicals go, and who pays for clean-up costs, increased healthcare costs of residents nearby, possible increased earthquake damage, etc. and where does this oil go (we can't use it--too dirty--so probably China)?

As I understand it, fracking wells "dry up" fairly quickly, which is why pressure to keepRead More drilling so urgent. Where do the jobs go after a year or so? Just a thought....

This non-apology is a joke. Still not going spend money in Culver City, dude.

Steve Rose writes "I'm a responsible car driver and I look for the same from bike riders."Read More However I challenge him to spend his next long drive staying at exactly the posted speed limit. I tried this once driving from the Long Beach Airport to Irvine. And I was astounded at how slow this felt. I also noticed that in all contexts (Freeway, Arterial, and local road) I was the only one doing so. I didn't pass or pace a single other car for the full 30 minutes. So somehow I doubt that although he may be "responsible" driving he is a fully law-abiding driver.

(....continued) Mr. Rose, your heart might have been in the right place, but you asked the wrongRead More questions and alienated bike riders in the process. More important, the approach was simply confrontational and not reflective of the changing perspective (read: progress) of the broader city on bicycle riding nor of the amazing new life blood of the those who are revitalizing the very Culver City you love and have worked so very hard for. Again, I urge you to apologize (not clarify) and perhaps come speak to some bike commuters/riders and join us in making Culver City's road's, less territorial and safer...
