Initiative
seeing something that needs to be done and doing it
During the month of October our Creek Kids in grades K-5th, 1st-5th in Grovetown, are learning about initiative. In an effort to help the kids understand what this truly means and how it relates to them we have teamed up with Soles4Souls.
Soles4Souls is a Nashville-based charity that collects shoes from the warehouses of footwear companies and the closets of people like you. The charity distributes these shoes free of charge to people in need, regardless of race, religion, class, or any other criteria. Since 2005, Soles4Souls has given away over 10 million pairs of new and gently worn shoes. The shoes have been distributed to people in over 125 countries, including Kenya, Thailand, Nepal and the United States.
Each Sunday through October 24, Creek Kids will be collecting gently used or new shoes in shoe boxes to give to Soles4Souls for distribution. If you don't have a shoebox, don't worry just bring your shoes and we will provide a box for you.
We look forward to seeing how many lives Creek Kids will be able to change, one pair at a time!
That's awesome! Thanks for partnering with us to change the world one pair at a time & give shoes to the 300 million kids without a pair!
