Soles4Souls ~ Reduce Your Footprint!!!
Dear Parents,
As part of Waste Reduction Week (October 16 to 20),
École OLPH will collecting your unwanted
shoes to give them a new life!
Your donated shoes can be in any
size, shape, and state of wear!
Students will receive an entry form per
pair of shoes, for a chance to win some
fantastic prizes.
Let's see if we can collect 300 pairs of shoes!!!
So start asking everyone you know for their shoes!!!
Shoes are a difficult item to recycle ~ until now!!!
This shoe drive will benefit directly as we rehome
some shoes locally that are in excellent condition.
The remaining shoes will be sent to Sole4Souls, a not
for profit group in Ontario that helps developing
countries build their economies while diverting waste
from the landfill at the same time.
