Jefferson City volunteers sorted and bagged more than 6,150 pairs of shoes for charity Saturday.
The shoes are to be sold to provide food, education and other services for children in Haiti.
The weekend event marked the end of an eight-year collection phase for Hope for Caribbean Kids Inc. ministry, founded by Richard and Iva Presberry, of Jefferson City.
In the past 20 years, the nonprofit has built a school (to provide Christian-based education in Marre Blanche, Haiti), undergone other construction projects, created daily feeding programs and provided school uniforms, according to a news release.
