Oh my goodness! The STM community blew Beta Club away with their generosity towards the Soles 4 Souls Service Project. As a school and parish, we were able to collect 3,190 pairs of shoes!!!!!!!! The shoes we collected will be repurposed through their micro-enterprise program, which teaches people in developing nations how to start their own small business selling gently used shoes and clothing. It’s a simple model—but it’s a powerful and sustainable way for people to lift themselves and their families out of poverty. In countries like Haiti and Honduras, the 3,190 pairs of shoes you donated can provide FOUR families with food, shelter, and education for an ENTIRE YEAR! Plus, you’ve helped prevent those 3,190 pairs of shoes from ending up in a landfill. A special thank you to our Beta members for all of their hard work!
We are rewarding all the students with a free dress day tomorrow, February 6. Thank you for all your support!
