Tarkio Rotarian John Davis kicked off the Shoes for Orphan Souls project for 2023. Tarkio Rotary has been collecting new shoes for over 20 years. This year, the shoes will go to Guatemala and the Dominican Republic. Having shoes allows children to go to school and protects their feet from soilborne disease and infection. There are boxes located all over Tarkio to collect new shoes for the project. Tarkio Rotary Club hopes to collect 250 pairs of new shoes this spring. A gift of shoes represents hope: hope for healthy feet, hope for an education, and hope for a better tomorrow.
