Shoe Closet
Shoe closet distributing new or practically new athletic type shoes to people of ages at all 5 school districts, as well as agencies, and ministries in the Amarillo-Canyon area. (We do not take dress shoes or clothing of any kind.)
Loving & Equipping
Mission Amarillo's shoe closet provides free new athletic shoes to students in Amarillo, Bushland, Canyon, Highland Park, and River Road ISDs. (We do not take dress shoes of any kind.)
Some of the shoes we replace leave you amazed that they could worn by all. Since the shoe closet's inception in August of 2010, we have given awaynearly 15,000 pairs of shoes!
If you, your business, church, or civic organization would like to help us provide shoes to those who need them, contact Jeff Parsons at jeff@missionamarillo.org. Businesses, churches, and civic organizations can request a shoe tree that comes with either 25 or 50 shoe cards complete with size and gender of shoes needed.
