The seniors are hosting a shoe drive fundraiser from October 1st through November 30th to raise funds for their class trip. LCA will earn funds based on the total weight of the pairs of gently worn, used, and new shoes collected. Funds2Orgs will issue a check for the collected shoes, and those dollars will benefit our senior class. You can help by donating gently worn, used, and new shoes at the tote in front of the main office during drop-off and pick-up times. If you have a large donation, we can pick it up from your house.
All donated shoes will be redistributed throughout the Funds2Orgsnetwork of micro-enterprise (small business) partners. Funds2Orgs works with micro-entrepreneurs to help them create, maintain, and grow small businesses in developing countries where economic opportunity and jobs are limited. The proceeds from the sales of the shoes collected in shoe drive fundraisers are used to feed, clothe, and house their families. For example, one budding entrepreneur in Haiti even earned enough to send her son to law school.
