The
Prospect Mountain High School Class of 2020 is hosting a shoe drive
fundraiser. All collected shoes will be delivered to developing
countries, such as Ghana, Bolivia, and Haiti. These shoes are sold
at significantly lower prices and create working opportunities.
The
sophomore class is profited with every pair of donated shoes. Our
goal is to collect 300 bags of 25 pairs each. Shoes must be wearable
and have no holes.
Please
donate in any of our white cardboard donation boxes stationed at the
Alton Town Hall, the Barnstead Town Hall, or in the reception area
at PMHS. The fundraiser is currently taking place and will run
through January 20th.
Please
spread the word around the community. All donations are helpful and
are greatly appreciated. Feel free to contact
