Over the summer, the Dutchtown Hands of Hope participated in a local shoe drive, collecting, cleaning, and donating **over 100 pairs of shoes** to individuals in need across Louisiana. This initiative provided practical support to those facing hardship while reinforcing our commitment to serving the community. We appreciate the volunteers and donors who made this effort possible and are grateful for the opportunity to contribute in a meaningful way. Through projects like this, we strive to make a positive, tangible difference in the lives of those in our communities.
