KEEP THE MIDLANDS BEAUTIFUL ANNUAL SHOE DRIVE
March 1-May 28
McGregor will again participate in the Keep the Midlands Beautiful Annual Spring Shoe Drive Fundraiser. You may drop off your new or almost new shoes in the marked bin in the church lobby through Sunday, May 28. All donated shoes for the KMB Shoe Drive will be redistributed throughout the Funds2Orgs network of micro-enterprise (small-business) partners in developing countries where economic opportunity and jobs are limited. Funds raised from the Shoe Drive help KMB support their litter prevention programs and encourage recycling and reuse. In addition, it keeps shoes out of the landfill.
