Mean Street Ministry - Foot Care Clinic Overview

Foot care, and particularly foot wound care, is a huge need for homeless folks. Many of them spend hours of the day walking, sometimes shoes that aren’t fit for the weather, flimsy, or falling apart. Their feet are tired, frostbitten, or they have blisters or wounds, and sometimes they aren't able to reach their feet to inspect them. An Advent team (headed by Heidi Zavala) will be providing foot care to our homeless neighbors at Mean Street Shelter. At this event, we will provide a chance for people coming off the street to soak their feet, provide basic foot care and give them a new pair of socks.

How Can You Get Involved?

Provide Foot Care — you don’t have to have a medical background to come volunteer. All you need is a willingness to learn and be present. Heidi or another medical professional will always be there to help if there are any questions.

Provide Support — If foot care is just not something your are comfortable with but would still like to participate there are a lot of ways to help at the shelter. Email Heidi (heidi.joy.zavala@gmail.com) for more details or sign up in the back and I’ll contact you.
