My Rotary Club (Vancouver Quadra) has partnered with the Salvation Army and the BC Association of Podiatrists to run a foot clinic on the downtown eastside. The clinic takes gently used running shoes, refurbishes them, and then distributes them to people who need them. As well, a podiatrist is on hand to provide health services as needed. I participate because feet are important for health but often overlooked, especially by those with more pressing concerns.
