The Tarkio Rotary Club and all of the Rotary Clubs of District 6040 in Missouri are again sponsoring a shoe drive in support of the Buckner Orphan Care International “Shoes for Orphan Souls” Project for 2018. Tarkio Rotary Club is collecting shoes to be delivered to its district collection point in Macon, Missouri, on April 28.
What can you do to help? Students are asked to bring one (or more if possible) pair of shoes or $5.00 (or more if possible) to Suzanne Brought in the high school principal’s office. Flip flops, sandals, new shoes, socks and shoe laces of any size or cash are acceptable. Athletic shoes sizes Youth 4 to Adult 9 are preferred. Sorry, used shoes cannot be accepted.
If students bring shoes, please write their grade level Deadline is April 20.
The Tarkio Rotary Club will sponsor a pizza party for lunch for the grade level which contributes the most to this worthwhile project. The minimum number of pairs of shoes for a class to qualify for the pizza party is at least an average of one pair of shoes per student in the class. For example, if a class has 20 students in it, it would have to donate a minimum of 20 pairs to qualify for the pizza party.
Also, community members may contribute by dropping off their shoes at the high school or the First Baptist or Assembly of God Churches. The Tarkio Rotary Club, on behalf of the orphan children of Guatemala, Peru and Puerto Rico, thanks you for your help.
