Soles4Souls Shoe Collection To Benefit Earthquake, Tornado Victims
May 19, 2011
The Ernest Ward Middle School Student Government Association has teamed with the non-profit organization Soles4Souls to collect shoes in good condition for the victims of the earthquake in Japan and the recent tornadoes in Alabama, Mississippi and Georgia.
The school is collecting the new and gently used shoes (no holes, separated soles or missing laces) from students, staff and the community through May 27.
Soles4Souls has given away over 12 million pairs of shoes through its five year history, currently delivering an average of one pair every seven seconds.
Soles4Souls began as a small team effort to make a difference in peoples’ lives with the gift of shoes after Hurricane Katrina roared into the Gulf Coast in August, 2005. The group’s collections are now distributed to those in need worldwide.
