   Jack Jackter Intermediate School Launches Fundraising Shoe Drive to Raise Funds,
       Support Microenterprise in Developing Nations, and Help the Environment

Jack Jackter Intermediate School is conducting a shoe collection drive from March 1 - April 30,
2022 to raise funds for Jesse Lewis Choose Love Movement while benefiting microenterprise
ventures in developing nations and keeping old shoes out of local landfills. By donating your
gently worn, used shoes, your shoes are given a second chance to make a difference. All
donated shoes will be redistributed to microenterprise partners through Funds2Orgs and used
in developing nations for impoverished people to start, maintain, and grow a unique business
opportunity to feed, clothe, and house their families. Our goal is to collect 2,500 PAIRS OF
SHOES. The public is invited to participate in this shoe collection drive from March 1 - April 30,
2022 by dropping shoes in the entrance of JJIS, 215 Halls Hill Road, Colchester.
