KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Some metro kids are helping others one shoe at a time. Seventh graders at St. Peter’s School in Kansas City collected shoes for a service project during Catholic Schools Weekend in January.

People donated 1,000 pairs of new and gently worn shoes. The students donated all of the shoes to Operation Breakthrough.
