The Bend Boot Challenge: Supporting Local Children, One Step at a Time

Keeping Bend's Children Warm

Central Oregon is renowned for being a winter wonderland for outdoor adventures. However, the chilly weather can make it tough for some local children to stay warm on their way to school. For the past seven years, McGlone Property Group has proudly championed the Bend Boot Drive in partnership with Family Access Network (FAN). We are on a mission to collect 100 pairs of boots so every child can step into winter, ready for the adventure ahead! 

How You Can Help

The Bend Boot Drive thrives on community generosity. Every donation—big or small—helps make winter brighter for Bend’s children. New or gently used boots can be donated at several local drop-off locations, including both Bend Shoe Co. locations, WebCyclery & WebSkis, and Project Bike. Prefer to make a monetary contribution? Donations can be made online, where you can include “MPG” in the comments. This will allow us to purchase boots directly from local stores on your behalf.

With every pair of boots donated, we’re not just keeping feet warm—we’re sending a message to Bend’s kids that their community cares.  And remember, kids come in all sizes!
