Barberton Rotary Club supports Shoes for the Sole

Shoes for the Sole is a project of the District 6630 Conference Interact Service Project. The project is collecting new or gently used tennis shoes and/or cleats for both children and adults. Sport  or casual shoes are the most needed types of shoes requested by Shoes the Africa, the group the Interact Club is collecting for. The District Interact and Rotary Clubs are asked to donate $1 per pair of shoes if possible to help with shipping costs from Atlanta to Senegal. Shipping to Atlanta has already been donated. 

 

This project was discussed at the February Board Meeting, and we voted to support the project. Rick Fisher has agreed to coordinate this project for the club. He is collecting the new or gently used shoes at club meetings -the deadline is the District Conference in April. He also shared he would purchase new shoes if any members wish to donate funds towards shoe purchase. Donations are also appreciated towards the shipping costs of $1 per pair. To date he has collected 40 pairs of new/gently used shoes.
