UT Alumni Groups Collect Elementary School Shoe Donations
You can help young children in the community have a good start to the new school year by participating in the third annual Shoe Collection Drive coordinated by alumni affiliates at The University of Toledo.
Throughout August, gym shoes and dress shoes in youth and small adult sizes, as well as school supplies, such as pencils, pens, paper, backpacks and tissues, are being collected for area students.
Shoes can be gray, black, brown or white (tennis shoes or dress shoes). Needed sizes include children’s sizes 1-6 or toddler sizes 10–13. A good rule of thumb is the shoe size is the same as the grade level for the child.
The alumni affiliates for the Judith Herb College of Education, Health Science and Human Service and College of Engineering are coordinating the collection drive.
Donations are still being collected 8:15 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday at the Driscoll Alumni Center in Room 2001. The Driscoll Alumni Center is located on the UT Main Campus at the intersection of Bancroft Street and University Hills Boulevard.
A donation drive event, the Shoe Tree Social, also is scheduled for 6 to 8 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 29 at the Dorr Street Café. Drop off your donations, meet the members of the participating affiliate groups and sample some free appetizers provided by the Dorr Street Cafe.
