Bluffton Familly Recreation SilverSneaker participants were treated to a holiday breakfast on Dec. 21 from Good Samaritan Manor, Arlington. Emily Rettig, director of social services, sales and marketing, delivered the breakfast to the nearly two dozen SilverSneaker members.

And, thanks to BFR, they are on their way to be repurposed

‘Twas the week before Christmas and all through Bluffton…5,550 pairs of repurposed shoes were loaded into a large Penske truck instead of a landfill.

It's true. Could you have guessed that many shoes would be donated by area residents to Bluffton Family Recreation just since October?

BFR’s goal was to collect 200 bags – there are 25 pair of shoes per bag – and 550 pairs topped that ambitious goal.
