Last Chance to Donate Your Used Shoes and Save Lives!

The Dearborn Outer Drive Kiwanis
used shoe drive,Walk a Mile in My Shoes, is
ending on January 31, 2017. The purpose of this drive, as part of
Project Eliminate, is to help eradicate maternal and neonatal tetanus
in the world by providing treatment to mothers and newborns so they
will not be subject to tetanus during unsanitary birthing situations
or afterward.

Kiwanis International has devoted six years to this project and 13 countries no longer suffer from tetanus
because of it. For every 25 pairs of shoes donated, the Kiwanis earns enough money to secure shots for 5 individuals as the shoes are resold in third world markets. The project allows you to clean out
your closets, provide support for a cottage business, and help
eliminate tetanus!

So far, the efforts of the Dearborn Outer Drive Kiwanis and our youth groups,

the Key Clubs of Dearborn High and Fordson, have yielded 30 bags of shoes with 25 pairs per
bag. That means we have helped to save 150 lives. If you would
like to contribute shoes or boots ( with good soles) of any size or
style to this cause before the end of the month, contact the DOD
Kiwanis at rosams13@gmail.com or rogerfrank@aol.com. for drop off information.

Please also share this information with family and friends.

This is your opportunity to pay it forward without opening your wallet!
