We NEED Your SHOES! 2023
Deep South Garden Club Convention Fundraiser
Our second to last shoe graph! I know you will miss our monthly updates! We did really well this month and have reached 2000 pairs! These shoes have been picked up and on their way to help others help themselves. The company will be doing one more pick up in early November. Although our original goal was 2200, we do get paid for any additional shoes. We will continue to collect until the last Fall Meeting on October 27th. If we reach 3000, not impossible, the rate they pay will be higher on their tiered system. Your participation in this fundraiser is very much appreciated. Let's see what the month of October brings and maybe we will all be surprised with the next graph!
If you haven’t collected your shoes yet, please try to collect them as soon as possible and have them for us by October 27, as we will be wrapping up the campaign. I am thankful for all of your support. Remember that every pair helps. If you can’t collect 25, then collect all that you can as they will add up and help us reach our goal.
Our graph below shows that we are so close but we still need your help. We will be at each Fall Meeting to inform and answer any questions about what we have planned for you at our Deep South convention in April AND to collect your shoes!👠👢👟 It has been an interesting journey and it is not over yet. Does anyone have any idea what 2000 pairs of shoes look like? Just imagine 2200 pairs! We hope to show you at the convention that your efforts have been worthwhile in many ways.
Remember:
1. New or gently worn shoes of any type or gender.
2.Our space will be limited as we travel to the meetings so please do not include shoeboxes.
3. Make sure you label your bags for your club to get credit. The clubs with the 3 largest totals will each receive a full page ad in the convention program. Do not be intimidated, some of the smallest clubs have the largest donations!
We NEED Your SHOES! 2023 Deep South Garden Club Convention Fundraiser The fundraising committee for the 2023 Deep South Garden Club Convention is looking for your support. Although we will pursue some of the usual avenues to fund this convention, we have decided to embark on an “out of the box” fundraiser. This endeavor will require no financial donations, manpower, or physical contact. It also has no out of pocket expenses. Basically, it cannot hurt to try something new!
As stated on the flyer, we will be collecting new and gently used shoes. Did you know 70% of the global population uses repurposed clothing and shoes? This is an important fact when you talk about global environmental sustainability.
Where do these shoes go? They are sold to micro-entrepreneurs, mostly women, in developing nations.
Why not just donate?
These shoes create commerce; they sell them for a living wage. In other words, it is a hand up not a hand out. It is easy, just collect as many new and gently used shoes from family and friends. Place them in clean trash bags labeled with your club name and district. It would be helpful to label inside and out to make sure you get proper credit. The pickup times are on the flyer but can be flexible for large loads. Because we are competitive by nature, there is a contest involved! With over 2000 members, if each member donates one pair of shoes we reach our goal. Let’s set the bar high and hit this one out of the park!
