The Liberty High Booster Club is conducting a shoe collection drive through June 11 to raise funds for Liberty High School teams and clubs.

The Liberty High Booster Club has partnered with Funds2Orgs for this event and will earn funds based on the number of pairs of shoes collected through an arrangement in which Funds2Orgs will purchase all donated goods. Those dollars will benefit the activities of Liberty High School teams and clubs.

Anyone can help by donating gently worn, used or new shoes at the club’s community collection day from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. June 11 at the front entrance of Liberty High School, 16655 S.E. 136th St., Renton. Donations can also be dropped off at the school during normal school hours.

All donated shoes will then be redistributed throughout the Funds2Orgs network of micro-enterprise partners in developing nations. Funds2Orgs helps impoverished people start, maintain and grow businesses in countries such as Haiti, Honduras and other nations in Central America and Africa. Proceeds from the shoe sales are used to feed, clothe and house their families. One budding entrepreneur in Haiti even earned enough to send her son to law school.

“We are excited about our shoe drive,” Edward Flash, treasurer of the Liberty High Booster Club, said in a press release. “We know most people have extra shoes in their closets that they could donate to us to not only help the school, but also help those in developing nations become self-sufficient. It’s a win-win for everyone.”

By donating shoes to the Liberty High Booster Club, the shoes will be given a second chance and make a difference in people’s lives.
