Papa’s Boots is a local mission set up in the memory of Bruno Leino, of Harrison and is associated with Bolster’s Mills United Methodist Church. Leino’s grandchildren started this project in his honor. Bruno “Papa” would always say as he looked at the Christmas tree full of presents “look at all these presents we have when there are many children going without winter boots.” Since 2011 Papa’s Boots has donated hundreds of new pairs of winter boots for children in need in Harrison, Waterford, West Paris, Hebron, South Paris and to other nonprofit organizations that serve children in need. Last Christmas, Papa’s Boots gave out 148 pairs of new warm winter boots. The need continues to increase each year. Papa’s Boots have partnered with Lamey-Wellehan in Auburn to help make this mission possible.
