I volunteer for the Lafayette PTA and we are organizing a shoe drive until mid-January 2022. The PTA will earn much-needed funds from Funds2Orgs for the donated shoes. The shoes will then be sent to developing countries around the world and repurposed. West Seattle Runner has been generous enough to use their store as the primary collection site and I am looking for help to pick up shoes from West Seattle Runner and deliver them to my home (located at 35th Ave SW & SW Hinds St). If you have shoes to donate, now is a great time to clean out your closets!
Ideally shoe pick-up should occur twice weekly to prevent the shoes from overflowing in the collection boxes at West Seattle Runner. Shoes will be collected until Funds2Orgs sends their truck to pick the shoes up, which will be in January some time. I will update this post once I have the exact end date for the shoe drive and will create a request for help to load the shoes in the truck. I have created this signup for volunteers to pick a date (you'll receive an email with the drop-off location once you sign up): https://www.signupgenius.com/go/70A0D48AAAE29A4FC1-shoe
