Assemblyman Billy Jones joins community shoe drive for Ukraine

           Assemblyman Billy Jones (D-Chateaugay Lake) will be collecting gently used sneakers for men sizes 8-13 at his district office in Plattsburgh as part of a community shoe drive for Ukrainian soldiers. Dmitry Feld, a Ukrainian native living in Lake Placid, is the main organizer and will send a shipment of shoes to Ukraine later in August. Shoes must be in good condition so that soldiers can use them.

            “It’s been a year since the war started and we must not forget about the people of Ukraine,” said Jones. “Since the crisis started, I have been inspired by Dmitry’s tireless efforts to support his home country and the least I could do was offer my office as a drop-off location for his shoe drive. I ask the North Country community to join me in supporting Dmitry and Ukraine and donate your gently used sneakers if you are able.”

            Jones is collecting sneakers at his district office at 202 US Oval Plattsburgh, New York until Thursday, August 3rd. The office is open 8:30 am-5 pm Monday-Friday.
