Troop and Pack 103 are collecting used, gently worn and new shoes for a shoe drive this Fall. They accept all sizes, types, styles of shoes/sneakers/boots. The troop is working with an organization that will help people in developing countries develop a micro-enterprise with these used shoes. They are making an impact by reducing shoes entering landfills and also re-purposing shoes that people have outgrown, no longer use, or just aren’t their style anymore. Shoes can be dropped off at the troop’s scout cabin at St. Paul’s UCC located at 5 W Arch St Fleetwood, PA. There is a designated bin on the side of the cabin for shoe donations (not the large bin for Opportunity House) under the roof on the side of the building. Local pick-up can be arranged for any donations if needed as well. Please contact Brittany Blose at [email protected] or 610.914.9046 to coordinate pick up. Learn more about the event here.
