PCC and Dodge City CC combine to raise equipment for Samaritan's Feet

Pratt Community College volleyball and Dodge City Community College volleyball combined their efforts for an equipment drive to benefit Samaritan's Feet. The teams collected packages of socks, pairs of shoes, and various other volleyball equipment and athletic apparel.

This was PCC's second year contributing to Samaritan's Feet. The Blue and White used the Dodge City match as an exchange of equipment for admission.

"I became aware of the Samaritan's Feet program three years ago through my coaching mentor Ibraheem Suberu, who was born in Nigeria," said PCC Head Volleyball Coach Jenny Mueller. "He has been such a great influence in my life and my coaching career that I also wanted to get involved in this amazing cause. How often do we take the little things for granted? Something so automatic for all of us, having shoes and socks to wear when we play; we take those things for granted as they will always be there for us. This organization helps so many that have so much less. If I can use my platform as the volleyball coach at Pratt Community College to help raise awareness, I would gladly do so."

Samaritan's Feet is a non-profit organization for the purpose of sharing hope with children in need by washing their feet, giving them a new pair of shoes, and helping them to believe that their dreams can come true. Samaritan's Feet is a growing movement of people willing to humble themselves as servants so that others might know the opportunity to a better life. Samaritan's Feet have had over 3,000 high school, city leagues, university and college coaches aid in the cause by coaching games, donating equipment, or managing practices in addition to making public appearances in their bare feet. With the cooperation between Samaritan's Feet and the volleyball coaching community awareness has been raised which has helped provide shoes, free skills training and volleyball resources to impoverished children especially in the African continent.
