Soles4Souls Shoe Drive!
The wellness department is partnering with Soles4Souls, a not for profit global social enterprise committed to fighting poverty through the collection & distribution of shoes & clothing. Soles4Soles accepts all types of shoes: athletic, running, dress, sandals, pumps, heels, work boots, cleats, dance, flip flops, just as long as they are new or gently worn.
"Since 2006 Soles4Souls has collected and distributed 26 million pairs of shoes to those in need in 127 countries around the world and all 50 states in the U.S.
Every day children are prevented from attending school, adults are unable to work. Walking becomes unbearable. A new pair of shoes provides relief in many developing nations around the globe, in times of disaster, and helps bridge the economic gap in the United States and Canada."
Clean our your closet & support an amazing organization. There will be a collection bin in the main entrance of the middle school. Please make sure the pairs are tied together or use an elastic to keep them a pair. Thank you for your donation!
