Today's speaker was Rev. David Glasser who works with Good In The Hood. This Twin Cities organization is dedicated to changing lives with simple acts of kindness. They offer essential resources including groceries, hot meals, holiday support, medical foot care, footwear, wellness services, referrals, and more. Rev. Glasser supervises their "Shoe Away Hunger" program, wherein new or gently used shoes are obtained from individuals and businesses, sold to those in need for between $2 and $5 per pair, and then the proceeds from shoe sales are used to fund food programs. Since their inception in 2003, they have continued to expand their efforts to provide essential resources for economically disadvantaged communities and for all those who have been marginalized by difficult circumstances. This is even more critical now as individuals and families continue to be impacted by COVID-19 and recent riots in our local communities. Local schools have been active in supporting these efforts with very successful "shoe drives".
