Your gently-worn shoes can help pay for a center where children can visit with their parents and families who are going through divorce can take classes.
Youth Connections has started their Happy Shoe Fundraiser in partnership with Funds2Orgs. Community members can drop off their gently used shoes at multiple sites across the county to earn money for the agency.
Youth Connections will earn 40 cents for every pound of shoes collected.
The donation drive runs through March 29. Shoes collected must be gently used, with no rips or tears, and must not have an odor. All types of shoes, including tennis shoes, boots, baby shoes and children’s shoes, are collected.
Here are the donation sites for the shoes:
