Walk a Mile in My Shoes Walkathon and Shoe Drive
St. Mary School's Make-a-Difference Social Justice Club is currently sponsoring Two service projects to raise awareness and provide help for Syrian refugees who have been forced to flee their homeland as a result of more than 7 years of civil war and persecution.
We are sponsoring a "Walk a Mile in My Shoes" Shoe Drive. Partnering with Soles for Souls, (an Ohio-based charity that distributes shoes to refugees throughout the world) we will be collecting donations of new or gently-used shoes of all sizes and all types throughout the month on October. If you would like to help, you may drop off your donations in the big blue and yellow box in the school lobby.
On Monday, October 22nd, the entire school will be participating in a "Walk a Mile in My Shoes" Schoolwide Walkathon. The Walkathon will be designed as a refugee crisis simulation and will generate funds for Catholic Relief Services programs targeting the needs of Syrian refugees in Europe. If you would like to contribute to our walkathon fundraiser, St. Mary students will be available by the church elevators following the Masses on the weekend of October 13-14 if you would be willing to make a pledge for this worthy cause.
When asked why we "shoe-ed" care about refugees who live halfway around the world, one young Social Justice Club member explained, "Well, Jesus said, "Whatever you do for the least of my people, you do for me."
