Between December 2-16, there was a shoe drive around Pittsville. During this time, community members were encouraged to bring new and/or gently used shoes to locations around the city. Soles 4 Souls is a nonprofit that collects shoes and sends them to people in need. People hit by natural disasters, war struck countries, domestic violence victims, and poverty-stricken communities. You can learn more about Soles 4 Souls at soles4souls.org.
This shoe drive was run by Kole Foltman and Autumn McDaniel, students at Pittsville High School working on a service learning project for the Global Scholars Certificate they are working towards. Through the Global Scholars Program students earn a credential from the Wisconsin Department of Instruction that shows they had a global learning experience.
Kole and Autumn brought in a whopping 250+ pairs of shoes that are going to help people all over the world.
