Through Sport Chalet and Soles 4 Souls, the SMES US Men’s Soccer Program put on a shoe drive to provide support for the earthquake victims in Haiti. The main obective was to collect shoes to send to Haiti. The soccer team held the drive beginning Wednesday, January 20th through Saturday, January 30th. The main part of the drive took place on Friday, January 22nd when St. Margaret’s played Sage Hill in basketball and soccer. More than half of our total pairs of shoes collected were collected during these sporting events. The soccer team taped, bagged, and boxed all the shoes and then they delivered all of the boxes to Sport Chalet for shipment to Haiti. Soles 4 Souls is a program that receives shoe donations and delivers them to people in need all over the world. Their main focus right now is helping the people in Haiti. So far, Soles 4 Souls has collected over 300,000 pairs of shoes for Haiti from the Sport Chalets across the United States. Our team collected a total of 541 pairs of shoes to be delivered immediately. Our team feels very fortunate to be able to help out people in need and make a difference in the global community.
