Papa’s Boots is a local mission set up in the memory of Bruno Leino by his grandchildren, and associated with Bolster’s Mills United Methodist Church. Bruno “Papa” would always say as 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 other non-profit organizations that serve people in need. Last Christmas Papa’s Boots gave out 106 pairs of new warm winter boots. Papa’s Boots has partnered with Lamey-Wellehan in Auburn to help make this mission possible.
The Bolsters Mills United Methodist Church is at 582 Bolsters Mills Road and is accessible.
