March 7th shoe drive for Haiti:

For countless Haitians, the shoes they put on their feet on the day of the earthquake are the only pair of shoes they have. Imagine the dangers of navigating broken glass, mangled metal and raw sewage in tattered shoes, sandals, or worse – barefoot.

On Sunday, March 7th, St. Francis Girls’ Basketball is going Barefoot4Haiti. We will be collecting new and gently used shoes for the shoe charity, Soles4Soles to distribute to Haitians in need. Please take time to go through your closets and gather up some shoes to give. Let’s help make a difference, one pair at a time. Collection will take place on March 7th from 12:30-6:30 at Monsignor Foley Parish Center, located at 441 Fellsway West.
