HAMMOND — The South Shore Convention and Visitors Authority, in conjunction with Indiana Sports Corporation, is sponsoring an athletic shoe drive. Athletic shoes will be collected at several local high schools through Nov. 30, and will be distributed through Indiana Sports Corporation’s “Geared For Health” Exchange Program.
The Exchange Program is built to connect under-resourced, youth-serving organizations with supporting companies and individuals. Local organizations may register for the Exchange Program by visiting www.exchange.indianasportscorp.org. Once approved for the program, organizations can search for needed items. Organizations that request shoes from the South Shore Convention and Visitors Authority through the Exchange Program will be able to collect the shoes between Dec. 5 and Dec. 30.
