AUBURN — The Lewiston-Auburn Kiwanis Club is conducting a shoe drive until Nov. 11 to raise funds to help support community programs for local youths.

The Key Clubs at St. Dominic Academy and Lisbon High School are assisting the Kiwanis Club with the project.

In conjunction with Funds2Orgs, the club will earn funds based on the total weight of the shoes collected. Anyone can help by donating gently worn, used or new shoes. They can be dropped off at one of three locations between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m. Monday through Friday:

• St. Dominic Academy, 121 Gracelawn Road, Auburn;

• St. Dominic Academy, 17 Baird Ave., Lewiston; and

• Lisbon High School, 2 Sugg Drive, Lisbon Falls.

The club uses funds for student scholarships each year, along with supporting several programs in the area that focus on children and youths.

After the collection, all donated shoes will be redistributed throughout the Funds2Orgs network of microenterprise partners in developing nations. Funds2Orgs helps impoverished people start, maintain and grow businesses in countries such as Haiti, Honduras and other nations in Central America and Africa. Proceeds from the shoe sales are used to feed, clothe and house their families.
