Schools within the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District are participating in a Shoe Drive through February to help keep important SMMEF-funded programs in all local schools next year, including instructional assistants, literacy coaches, art programs and more.
Shoes collected during the district-wide drive will be sent to countries where people are not able to afford new shoes.
All shoes are accepted -- kids, adults, cleats, boots, etc., shoes must be in pairs, and usable. Donations can be made on school campuses in specially marked collection bins.
