Posted by Fred Steiner on December 6, 2017 - 3:39pm

If you've not yet donated your used shoes to Bluffton Family Recreation, there's still time. But, that time is growing short.

To date BFR has collected a little over 152 bags of shoes (25 pair to a bag). That translates to around 3,800 pair of shoes.

This is BFR’s fourth shoe drive, which generates money for BFR programs and recycles old shoes. BFR earns money for shoes collected. Since 2014, the project has generated over $4,000 to BFR.

Last year’s drive, BFR’s largest ever, generated $2,021.
