The Lighthouse Foundation food bank in Middlesex Township will receive a large donation thanks to the efforts of some local students earlier this year.
Fourth graders at Mars Area Elementary School spent several weeks in February sorting 4,300 pairs of new or gently worn shoes.
The shoes were then donated to those living in developing nations through the social enterprise group Funds2Orgs.
This company then made a payment of over $1,600 to the school based on the weight of the shoes collected which was then directed to The Lighthouse Foundation to benefit those in the local community dealing with food security issues.
