Jan Peticolas has spearheaded a monthly shoe drive at the Lutheran Church of Hope in Broomfield, Colorado. The Sunday School children and the Social Concerns Ministry are working collaboratively with One World Running to gather, clean, and repair all kinds of shoes including slippers, boots and heels.

Hope's ministry collects shoes at the church on the first Sunday of each month, from January through May 2008. The first collection, on Jan. 6, gathered roughly 150 pairs. The February drive added another 175 pairs. Thanks to Jan, the Lutheran Church of Hope ministry, and the Broomfield community for the donations.
