Several local businesses are collecting brand new and gently-used steel toe and leather upper work boots, and non-skid work shoes, for workers having a hard time affording them. Until Thursday “Dimensions Reno-dot-org” is partnering with the Catholic Charities and Nevada Job Connect to pair the shoes, with people who need them. Boots can be dropped off at the UPS customer counter at 355 Vista Boulevard in Sparks, Valley View Christian Fellowship on Geiger Grade, and American Pacific Mortgage on Ridgeview Drive.
