AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – A local couple is collecting shoes this month for Compass for Hope, a nonprofit that operates every Sunday in downtown Augusta, providing showers, a hot breakfast, and basic necessities to people in need.
Leo Parsons and his wife organized the drive, which has already collected more than 75 new or gently used pairs of shoes.
