22nd Many More Miles Campaign Collects 5,000 Shoes

Hundreds of residents across Baldwin and Mobile counties participated in Baldwin Bone & Joint’s 22nd Annual Many More Miles Campaign by donating gently used shoes. This collective effort resulted in approximately 5,000 pairs of shoes being gathered and prepared for redistribution to those in need. Of the total shoes collected, 2,000 pairs were donated through partnering Baldwin County Board of Education and other local schools. The remaining 3,000 pairs came from a variety of sources, including Baldwin Bone & Joint physicians, employees and patients, in addition to members of the surrounding communities through dropoff sites at the Spanish Fort, Daphne and Foley YMCA locations; City Hope Church; the University of South Alabama Student Recreation Center; White-Spunner Realty and McCoy Outdoor Co. These collection points played a crucial role in facilitating the campaign’s outreach and enabling broad participation. Under the experienced distribution of City Hope Church Outreach Coordinator Melanie Daw and her team, these shoes will go directly to those in need across Mobile and Baldwin counties.
