Planet Aid partners with the Rotary Club of the Brookfields and Quaboag Regional School

Amidst the vibrant community of  Brookfield, MA, a heartwarming initiative unfolded as Planet Aid spearheaded a successful shoe drive in collaboration with the Rotary Club of the Brookfields. The endeavor was in partnership with the Quaboag Regional School and resulted in the collection of over 250 pairs of sneakers and shoes. 
 
 
The effort was spearheaded and organized by Planet Aid Territory Manager, Amelia Trombley. The shoe drive utilized cardboard yellow Planet Aid bins, strategically placed throughout the school to encourage students and teachers to contribute their gently used sneakers and shoes. The response was overwhelmingly positive, highlighting the compassionate and generous nature of the school community.  
 
 
Donating shoes is a small act of environmental action that helps schools realize the impact they can make by simply giving what they no longer need. 
 
In addition to the school’s contributions, the Rotary Club’s dedicated members stepped up to the plate, donating numerous pairs of footwear themselves. The Brookfields community stands as an outstanding model of what can be achieved when people come together with a shared vision of helping others.
