Day Without Shoes is a collaborative effort with local businesses who volunteer to help the bank collect new and wearable used shoes for free distribution by People’s City Mission. In 2011 Cornhusker Bank and People’s City Mission partnered to help raise awareness of the impact a pair of shoes can have on a person’s life by hosting a Day Without Shoes event annually. The public has been encouraged to bring their new or used wearable shoes, or cash donations to help put shoes on the feet of Lincoln’s less fortunate. In the 12-year history of the event, we have collected over 235,000 pairs of shoes and monetary donations totaling over $102,000 for the Mission. Day Without Shoes Walk for Awareness: April 5, 2023. Shoe Collection Dates: April 3 through April 15, 2023
