BMS Shoe Drive Fundraiser...
The Blythewood Middle School Parent-Teacher Organization (BMS PTO) is conducting a shoe drive fundraiser from March 19 through May 19, 2018. All donated shoes will be redistributed throughout the Funds2Orgs network of micro-enterprise (small business) partners. Funds2Orgs works with micro-entrepreneurs in helping them create, maintain and grow small businesses in developing countries where economic opportunity and jobs are limited. Proceeds from the sales of the shoes collected in shoe drive fundraisers are used to feed, clothe and house families in these countries.
Anyone can help by donating gently worn, used and new shoes at the lobby of Blythewood Middle School. We encourage local organizations to participate in this fantastic giving opportunity! BMS PTO will earn funds based on the total weight of the pairs of gently worn, used and new shoes collected, as Funds2Orgs will issue a check for the collected shoes.
By donating gently worn, used and new shoes to the Blythewood Middle School PTO, the shoes are saved from going into a landfill and will be given a second chance, making a difference in people’s lives around the world.
