Franklin Students Collect for Soles4Souls
Franklin Elementary School in Rahway is doing its part to help the environment and the world. They collected 270 pairs of used shoes for the Soles4Souls organization. Soles4Souls is an organization that creates sustainable jobs and provides relief through the distribution of shoes and clothing around the world. They collect new and gently-worn shoes to help individuals start and sustain small businesses to lift themselves out of poverty. Donated shoes are a viable resource to help entrepreneurs provide crucial necessities for their families. The sale of 1 single pair of shoes can provide 5 meals for a family in Haiti.
