An amazing 7.6 million shoe boxes were shipped to more than 100 countries last year. Over 600 of them came from BRBC! Everyone can be involved in this simple, hands-on missions project. The national collection week for the shoe boxes is November 17-22. BRBC again will be a collection center (Monday-Friday 5:30-7:30 p.m. & Saturday 9-Noon). For more information, or if you would like to volunteer in the collection center (16 & up only), please contact Courtney Shipe (allshipesandsizes[at]gmail.com).
