Children’s shoes will be donated
to the Boys and Girls Club in Bryan,
and all other proceeds will go to Twin
City Missions.
LeVoir Lewis, programs chair for
the NAACP and a junior genetics ma
jor, said the group decided to have a
shoe drive because it is an overlooked
way to help the needy.

The Brazos Valley chapter
of MADD operates with a staff
of three and has a membership
of 350.
However, most MADD chap
ters across the state have mem
berships of 700 or more.
A portion of the awareness
campaign is geared towards in
creasing the safety efforts of
people attending parties where
alcohol is served.
MADD advises individuals
hosting parties to:
• Serve high-protein food if
alcohol is being served, and of
fer non-alcoholic beverages.
• Use non-alcoholic drink
recipes available at the Brazos
Valley MADD or Allstate office.
• Do not let guests mix
drinks, and close the bar 90
minutes before the party ends.
• Encourage guests to desig
nate a driver or offer alternative
transportation.
• Offer alternative trans
portation.
• Report suspected drunken
drivers immediately to area po
lice from a car phone or pay
phone.
• Call DPS at 1-800-525-5555
or call 775-TIPS to report a
drunken driver or to ask ques
tions.
For more information about
the Brazos Valley chapter of
MADD call 823-7008.
“It is the perfect time to have a shoe
drive when kids are going back to
school,” Lewis said. “Instead of having
a community-service event off cam
pus, we’ll bring the community service
to A&M.”
Strope said the coats and blankets
donated to Twin City Missions will be
given away Dec. 1 from 10 a.m. to 4
p.m. to the homeless population at the
mission first and then to the needy in
the community who are slightly above
or below the poverty line.
