WEST PARIS — West Paris Fire Association is running a shoe drive fundraiser and are asking for help from their community. They will be collecting new and gently worn shoes from February 10 to March 15. Drop of location will be at West Paris Fire Department on Kingsbury St. Pick up may also be arranged.
By partnering up with Angel Bins, West Paris Fire Association will get paid for what they collect and plan to use the funds towards their goal of providing the members with masks and gear.
Shoe Drive Fundraisers are a fun and safe way to keep up your fundraising this year, while keeping socially distant! Shoes can be all sizes, but must be pairs and still wearable. No heels, fuzzy slippers, or metal cleats.
After Angel Bins collects the shoes, they are sorted and cleaned, then sent to micro-entrepreneurs in developing nations which allows people to create both businesses and jobs for people in local communities. Their income supports their families, and the inventory shoes the communities.
Make a difference in your community at home and overseas today. Donate your shoes to West Paris Fire Association.
