Sneaker Drive runs well in Rochester
The Frontier Pioneers in
Rochester, NY, partnered with the Rochester Rotary Club to collect
used sneakers for recycling. Frontier employees donated
approximately 500 pairs of sneakers to the Rochester Rotary Club for
the "Rotary Re-grinds" project. These sneakers will be used to make
sports fields and running tracks. Several of the sneakers were
gently used and will become "Rotary Re-treads." The Rotary Club will
distribute them to children and adults needing footwear, both
domestically and worldwide. The first pick-up that occurred in
October has already been distributed to the families effected by the
storms in Florida. The second pick-up was designated to the
Salvation Army and will stay in Rochester for families in need. |
