GIRL SCOUT SHOE DRIVE FOR CATHOLIC CHARITIES


Fifth grade Junior Girl Scout Troop 3021 is conducting a shoe drive throughout the month of April to benefit the children and adults living at Urban Manor, a housing complex operated by Catholic Charities. Many of the families living there are refugees and have come here to start a new life. 

The troop is collecting gently used and new shoes for children and adults. All kinds and sizes are welcome.  This is a great opportunity to clean out the closets this spring and donate those outgrown shoes that are collecting dust.... 

The girls will have collection boxes in the school foyer through April 29th.
They will deliver all the shoes to the residents in May, as part of their community service Bronze Award project. 

The girls thank you in advance for your support with this project. You are helping them to make a difference in the lives of others! God bless you.
