Barefoot believes in supporting all women and children in our community, and we hope that you will help us! We will be taking donations for the Middle Way House on Friday, July 10th and Saturday, July 11th.

Middle Way House is a shelter for women and children fleeing violence at home. The shelter is a safe place available to families until they have found an appropriate, affordable place to live. At the shelter, women and children sleep in family groups, eat congregate style, contribute to the upkeep of their own and group spaces, and take advantage of programs designed to help them move on with their lives.

We know many of you have baby gear that you don't need, or your babies have outgrown, so we invite you to bring it to Barefoot and we'll donate it to Middle Way!
