Eatontown PTA Asks Public To Donate Old, Unwanted Shoes

EATONTOWN, NJ — Eatontown schools PTA is conducting a shoe drive fundraiser from February 10 - March 31 to raise funds for Eatontown public schools.

Anyone can help by donating gently worn, used and new shoes at:

• Meadowbrook School (65 Wyckoff Rd.)
• Eatontown Community Center (72 Broad Street)

The donated shoes will be sold to Funds2Org, which will issue a check to the Eatontown PTA based on the total weight of the pairs of gently worn, used and new shoes collected.

Funds2Orgs works with small businesses in developing countries, and proceeds from the sales of the shoes will be used to feed, clothe and house families in developing countries.

"We know that most people have extra shoes in their closets," said Pilar Capuano, Meadowbrook School PTA vice president. "By doing so, we raise money for school activities and assemblies, and we have the chance to help families in developing nations who need economic opportunities. It's a win-win for everyone.”
