But we’re not done yet! This drive continues through March 7, 2025, so there’s still plenty of time to clean out your closets and bring in more new or gently used shoes. All sizes and styles are welcome (NO SKATES), as long as they’re in good condition (clean and without holes or damage).
Drop-off boxes are located near the offices of the elementary, middle, and high schools. Stay tuned for details on the upcoming Drop-Off Drive-thru in February!
Let’s keep the momentum going and make this shoe drive a massive success! Thank you for supporting BPA and helping us make a difference.
