“Unwanted footwear is turned into opportunities, keeping them from landfills and putting them to further use by those in need, creating jobs and empowering people to break the cycle of poverty,” as stated in a Lions Club press release.

Drop-off locations are in orange boxes at the Peterborough Lions Club at 347 Burnham St. and various locations throughout the town.

Donations are being taken from May 1 to June 21.

New or used baby-to-adult footwear including work, dress, casual, runners, sandals, winter boots and more are accepted.
