COLUMBIA (WOLO): Keep the Midlands Beautiful is on a mission to raise money and encourage South Carolinians to untie their sneakers and donate them to a good cause. Since beginning their Shoe Drive Fundraiser April 1st, shoes are already piling up across the Midlands.
“We collected over 3,400 pairs of shoes last year, and our goal this year is 4,000 pairs,” said Core Programs Administrator, Laura Blake-Orr.
But now instead of in landfills, they’re in 22 donation bins across the Midlands, ready to find a new home through a program called Funds2Orgs.
